ICD-10-PCS codes consist of seven characters, each of which identifies a unique, specific piece of information. For most of the codes in the Medical and Surgical section, each character represents the same information every time.
The fifth character in every code identifies the approach. In the Medical and Surgical section, coders will find seven different approach characters composed of three components:

Five Frequently Asked Questions About ICD-10 | CareThreads
NOVEMBER 3, 2014
On Oct. 1, 2015, the healthcare diagnostic process will undergo a fundamental shift. Starting that day, the ICD-9 (International Classification of Diseases, 9th Edition) code sets used to report medical diagnoses and inpatient procedures will be replaced by the ICD-10 code set. Any organizations who fail to comply will be unable to bill for any services provided after that date, which could severely impact their cash flow and their ability to deliver care to the country’s most vulnerable populations.

ICD-10: Do They Mean It This Time? #ICD10 #ICDRemediator #ICD10Matters #HealthIT
ICD-10: Do They Mean It This Time? » athenahealth CloudView Blog
by DAN HALEY, VP OF GOVERNMENT AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS
I’m always asked the same ICD-10 questions: Is the October 2015 deadline real this time? Are the feds going to punt again? They aren’t ever going to pull the trigger on ICD-10, right?
All reasonable questions, especially after the October 2014 deadline — supposedly a hard-and-fast date — was unceremoniously kicked down the road by a year.
When it comes to ICD-10, providers fall generally into two categories: Those who actually invested time and money to be ready for October 2014, and, having been burnt once badly, are leery of approaching the ICD-10 stove again. Then there are providers who feel validated that they had correctly bet the feds would blink — and may be more comfortable making that bet again next year.
The policy meteorologists uniformly predicted stormy weather. Yet a whole lot of people went outside without an umbrella and ended up enjoying a beautiful, sunny day. Why shouldn’t the same scenario play out again in 2015?

The recent ICD-10 Industry Readiness Survey by the Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange (WEDI) confirms what I have suspected and have been experiencing in the field – the delay of the ICD-10 rollout has bred procrastination, especially among providers.
Two thirds of the 324 providers who responded to the survey slowed their efforts or halted them completely when ICD-10 implementation was delayed last April. Payers have done somewhat better. Anecdotally, I’ve heard that when the delay was announced, precious resources for ICD-10 readiness were diverted to other initiatives by both providers and payers.

Survey: Most Large Healthcare Providers Ready for ICD-10 Testing #ICD10 #ICDRemediator #ICD10Matters #HealthIT
Survey: Most Large Healthcare Providers Ready for ICD-10 Testing | Journal of AHIMA
Nov 04, 2014 03:23 pm
posted by Chris Dimick
More healthcare executives recognize the long-term benefits of using ICD-10-CM/PCS than a year ago, according to a new eHealth Initiative (eHI)/AHIMA survey, and plan to use the code set for quality improvement and performance measurement once it is implemented. And while the majority of respondents working in larger healthcare organizations said they are far enough along in their implementation process to conduct end-to-end testing on ICD-10 before the October 1, 2015 deadline, smaller organizations said they are less equipped to test.
A report based on the survey was released Tuesday by AHIMA and eHI that provides a look at just how prepared healthcare organizations are for the upcoming ICD-10 implementation and how they think ICD-10 will impact their operations.
Areas of focus for the survey included readiness for testing and implementation, anticipated financial, clinical, and operational impact, and the strategic implications of an expanded code set. A total of 454 healthcare representatives, mainly from hospitals and physicians practices, participated in the survey conducted in May and June 2014.

Dispatches from MGMA: ICD-10, analytics and collaboration | Government Health IT
November 04, 2014 | Frank Irving, Editor, Medical Practice Insider
Picking up where I left off previously, here's a recap of information gathered from the exhibit hall during MGMA's annual conference earlier this week.
As you'll see, vendors are keying in on analyzing and automating the claims management process on the business side of small and midsize practices. On the professional side, they continue to look for ways to attract and engage physicians in community discussions, and encourage contact with colleagues.
Remember ICD-10?
Considering the upcoming ICD-10 conversion's potentially pricey ticket for small practices, I was advised to keep my eyes on a latent pivot point for the industry.
