Straighten out your ICD qualifiers

by Julia Kyles, CPC on Feb 4, 2016
Remember your ABKs (and Fs) when you submit electronic claims for services performed on or after Oct. 1.
 
CMS today sent a reminder to use the appropriate ICD-10 qualifier codes on electronic claims. ABK goes in field HI01-1 to indicate the principal ICD-10 diagnosis code. Use ABF "for the code list qualifier code to indicate up to 11 additional ICD-10 diagnosis codes that are sent," CMS states in the FAQ referenced in the e-mail.
