Coding Tips to Ease the Move to ICD-10 | Amphion Medical Solutions 



Making the leap to ICD-10 is a challenge for even the most experienced coder. With eight times the number of codes in ICD-9 and requiring a greater understanding of anatomy and physiology, achieving and remaining proficient in ICD-10 requires intensive training and ongoing practice while the industry waits out the latest implementation delay.



For this reason, Amphion has launched “ICD-10 Tips,” a periodic series of detailed information around some of ICD-10’s more complex codes. Each tip includes useful information about the code in question such as sample usage or clarification.  For example, Tip #1 focuses on body part specificity—in particular that the PCS index does not contain the same specificity of body parts for all root operations—and provides examples including indexing. Tip #5 is focused on Xenograft and includes the definition, uses and device value.
