The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued a new fact sheet on the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition, Clinical Modification/Procedure (ICD-10-CM/PCS) coding system that health care organizations will be required to use by Oct. 1, 2010.
The CMS fact sheet says ICD-10-CM/PCS will improve the ability to measure health care services; increase sensitivity when refining grouping and reimbursement methodologies; enhance the ability to conduct public health surveillance; and decrease the need to include supporting documentation with claims.
