When we submit a claim to work comp, do we follow the ICD-9/10 rules based on the state we are located in OR the state the work comp company is in? Ex: Georgia is adopting ICD-10. We are located in Georgia but sending a claim to a work comp company in South Carolina. Which state should we be following?
 
My states hospital association has decided that we are just going to submit everything in icd 10 and wait for individual claims/payers to tell us otherwise in hopes that the united front will encourage them to all covert. I'd submit in what ever format you would normally and wait and see if they pay or deny. I think most will end up going to icd 10 because it gives them THOUSANDS (over 60k new dx codes) more reasons to deny claims *lol*
