Manage ICD-9 and ICD-10 Defaults for Payers

You can change effective and expiration dates for payers that use ninth or tenth revision codes of International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9 or ICD-10).

By changing effective and expiration dates for ICD-9 or ICD-10 codes at the payer level, you can configure financial classes that contain many payers switching to ICD-10 codes and a few payers still need you to submit ICD-9 codes.
  1. On the Specialty Diagnosis Group Config template, expand the Manage Financial Class/Payer Listing panel.
  2. Select the financial class to be updated from the financial class grid.
    The effective and expiration dates of the selected financial class are filled in their respective fields.
  3. Select the payer's name from the field for payer name.
    The effective and expiration dates of the selected payer are filled in their respective fields.
  4. Change the effective and expiration dates as needed.
  5. Select Add/Update.
    The changes are saved to the payers grid, and the ICD-9 codes are configured for the selected payer until the expiration date.
