Wiki Resubmitting of ICD-9 claims after 10-1-13

[kimt]

We are having a debate in our office about resubmission of ICD-9 claims. Does anybody know if a claim is submitted in ICD-9 pre 10-1-13 and for one reason or another it needs to be resubmitted does the whole DOS need to be recoded in ICD-10??

ICD -10 is a visit date activation any visits with visit date prior to Oct 1 2013 will have ICD-9 codes any visit date after Oct 1 2013 will have ICD-10 codes

I guess I understood it otherwise thanks!

Debra is correct. It is rebilled by DOS. Before Oct 1, 2013, in ICD-9...after in ICD-10

Is there any source document that any one can point me to that specifically states that the ICD-10 is by Date of service as opposed to when the claim is submitted? i reviewed the fact sheets of ICD10 and there is only a mention of the 10/13/2013 implementation date.
thanks, Melanie Wilson

It is posted on the CDC website as a visit date activation and they do have a section where they address this specifically stating for an as yet undertermined amount of time we will use both code sets due to date of service.
