Managing Financial Classes and Payers

You can manage financial classes and payers that use ninth or tenth revision codes of International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9 or ICD-10).

The Manage Financial Class/Payer Listing panel of the Specialty Diagnosis Group Config template helps you update effective and expiration dates of ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes for various financial classes and payers and make an existing payer inactive.

By default, all financial classes and payers from the corresponding grids are updated to switch from ICD-9 to ICD-10 (ICD-X) on October 1, 2015. If any financial class or payer did not switch from ICD-9 to ICD-10 on October 1, 2015, you can update the ICD-9 expiration date and ICD-X effective date. If you configure a payer to accept ICD-9 codes, you can add ICD-9 codes on the medical record templates as a part of the patient's diagnosis details and submit the charges to the configured payer.
