Navigating FY 2025 ICD-10-CM: Optimize Reimbursement and Compliance

Course Description:

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the World Health Organization (WHO) annually update the ICD-10 codes. This webinar will discuss and review the additions, revisions, and deletions for the ICD-10-CM that will be implemented October 1, 2024 and will continue to be utilized until September 30, 2025. The 2025 additions include an expansion of codes in neoplasms, the endocrine system, mental health, gastrointestinal fistulas, musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular birth defects, and drug poisoning. Most revisions are in ophthalmology and the deletions all involve internal operation wounds. It is important that providers implement these changes for dates of service beginning October 1, 2024 to avoid a delay in reimbursements should invalid ICD-10-CM codes are reported.

Learning Objectives:

Understand the changes to ICD-10-CM for the upcoming year
Determine what needs to be done for providers to be ready for the changes
Create education for office staff who will need to know what the changes are
Implementation of the 2025 ICD-10-CM tips
Discuss what should be done post-implementation to confirm denials haven’t increased due to changes
Review the plan in making necessary changes to software programs, encounters, and EHRs
