Since the Oct. 1 launch date of the ICD-10 code set, Medicare payers have reported a number of claims-processing errors affecting dozens of codes.
Those problems include codes listed on local coverage determinations (LCDs) and national coverage determinations (NCDs), notes Teri Jorwic, professor of health care informatics at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
"There have been reports that some of these lists seem incomplete or inaccurate," says Jorwic. "For example, in the injury codes there are a minimum of three 7th characters for initial, subsequent and sequela. Some are reporting that only some of these 7th characters are being accepted."
