but it will be unique ...
I think it's cool...
It's definitely not a box you'd hide behind a smoked glass door in the entertainment center
At that price point I could be persuaded to switch to it if the performance is as good as it promises to be.
Anyone surprised that it doesn't include a DVD drive? True, lacking a drive provides elegance and simplicity, but a home theater system without a DVD player seems lacking.
Perhaps it's b/c of Boxee's history of having trouble playing DVD's?

A glimpse at the inaugural dress?
There's been considerable debate over whether Mrs O should showcase her trademark jewel colours for her inauguration dress or go for a classic white gown as favoured by Nancy Reagan and most famously Jackie Kennedy. There are staunch Mrs O supporters in both camps and of course we won't know either way until the 20th, but we can offer a glimpse of what a winter white inaugural gown might look like.
Back in May 2005, Mrs O wore this gorgeous Maria Pinto dress to attend the Legends Ball hosted by Oprah Winfrey. Stunningly simple in the cut of the bodice, the dress allows the shimmering fabric-it looks like a silk taffeta-to speak for itself. The gown is soft and relatively unstructured aside from the tiered skirt, a touch of drama added with the matching ruffled wrap-a Pinto signature.
Mrs O accessorises perfectly for the occasion with a sparkling choker and earrings and an elegant up-do. The combination of opulence and restraint means that despite the formality of the occasion, she manages to look fresh and youthful. A look at Mrs O's previous evening wear, including this gown, gives a few intriguing hints as to what we might be able to expect on Inauguration day. I
nterestingly, given her usual vibrant hues, Mrs O has in the past often tended towards a softer palette for evening in pastel pinks and blues. She is clearly a fan of Pinto's embellished wraps and seems to favour a less structured, more softly draped look than she chooses for daywear. She often wears her hair up in the evening, the better to showcase the statement earrings she favours for formal events and the elegant lines of her dresses. So will Mrs O stay true to form or surprise us all? Only time will tell.

WTRF.com UPDATE
To passers-by, it might appear that demolition is about finished on the 1100 block of East Wheeling.
The buildings came down fast, and now the rubble sits in piles on the lot where a sports complex is slated to be built.
City Manager Robert Herron WTRF.com the demolition contract is actually a little ahead of schedule, but there is a big difference between this project and other demolition projects Wheeling.
"The contractor is hauling all of the material off-site, so what's going to be left is footprints of the 38 buildings that were there," said Herron. "The next phase of that is a general contract to actually build the complex."
Herron isn't sure when they are bidding that out. If it's not by this fall then it will certainly be over the winter months.
They are still looking at their fundraising efforts, but Herron says all the plans and specifications should be done in the next couple of weeks.
WTRF.com UPDATE
"Most people in town are counting on this to happen," he said. "Seeing it really happen, most people are happy about seeing the buildings coming down. Now that they can see the inside and what they look like they're really happy because they're now realizing how bad they were."
Atkinson said the East Wheeling Sports Complex project is also moving quickly.
He expects demolitions for this to be done around the same time as the 1100 block.

« "With Great Sadness," Mary Ann Glendon Declines ND Award | Main | The Model Mother and the Loving Savior »
Fr. Jenkins Responds to Glendon's Decision
By Sarah Rozman | April 27, 2009
From the ND Newswire:
The following statement from Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., president of the University of Notre Dame, is in response to the decision by Mary Ann Glendon to decline acceptance of the University's Laetare Medal:
"We are, of course, disappointed that Professor Glendon has made this decision. It is our intention to award the Laetare Medal to another deserving recipient, and we will make that announcement as soon as possible."
If Notre Dame finds someone to accept the award this year, it will be interesting to see how ND announces it, how ND and the recipient deal with all the publicity that continues to surround this year's commencement, and how the recipient will distance him/herself from the scandal ND has caused by choosing President Obama as commencement speaker and honorary doctorate recipient.

Yeah guys the info is apreciated, but better leave it at that. The point is that in BM a single 9mm round doesn't kill you at all and not all of the rounds they shoot hit you anyway, so that's about it, "realistic enough" for a sci-fi FPS. And I think that the fact that Valve subtituted the MP5 for the M4A1 in HL:Source already tells the story about what they wanted that weapon to be in the game. It's not a war simulator, so it's not the MP5 or the M4A1, it's just the automatic weapon, with certain characteristics so that it's fun and useful depending on the situation.
Its a game, that pretty much sums it up. It has a arcade style feel and damage. Wished the spreads were more on point and that all of the weapons could be pulled up to sights but thats not the case :/
Yup. I was just conceeding that some other types of games require at least a significant ammount of realism. And a little off-topic, but related to this (I just saw it this morning and just need to share): http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2012/09/18/game-theory-borderlands-2-fails-to-cross-ove/ You really need the WSJ to make the worst (yet somehow fun) game review ever. The guy keeps comparing Borderlands 2 to COD, and how it fails because it's not like COD... hilarious.
why are people not seeding this???? it is crawling at like 100KB/s .... edit: woops spoke too soon. 9.6 MB/s down!
I am having "big moments" with Black Mesa I have not had in a long time.... They just nailed this game....
Heck I started playing original Half Life and Blue Shift...and no the jumping is off in Black Mesa,I made it to office complex in the ver1 with no problems with curb jumps,I could make it on to the lower small boxes and crate crouch jump.Blue Shift has a bug in it when you get to the elevators in G Sector.I had to install this http://old.hl-improvement.com/downloads.php Got past the G Sector elevator bug and put it The saved game file in my steam save folders.Duty Calls is the next map.
I can't wait until they finish the game...Sucks salty sweaty donkey balls to be 4 chapters short of a full game....
It ends when you go to Zen..... Not sure why... I think they are deciding if they are gonna change the ending to make more sense
I got laid off so I was able to devote 13 hours to it....Prolly wouldve had it beat in 8 hours if it wasn't for the mod holding true to that generic ass "crouch jump" from the original half life which btw is most of the gameplay in the game....
They aren't really changing the ending all that much I would think. The dev team released black mesa unfinished. They decided that the entire community waited long enough for the release of this mod. So they put it out there to ease the crowd over until they finish the last 4 chapters of the game.
This really made it possible for me to finally experience HL1 (and possibly Xen when they release it). About 12 years ago when I bought half life, it was only because I wanted to start playing CS. I wasn't interested in the HL series but then HL2 was released and for me it was the best gaming experience ive ever had so owed it to myself to play this through.
i too bought half life when it came out. maybe 1 month after? anyway, it really was an epic experience and i feel like with black mesa that i am reliving it all over again. this game is so amazing i don't know if anything else will be as good.
Two weeks ago I got stuck not being able to climb the ladder at the far right end of that room filled with green toxic waste at the end of that tram (which sure seemed a bug of some sort; it was right in front of me and appeared the only exit) and I have not tried again as yet...
Ok guys noob time, i finally got a chance to get to play it but... it's not starting nor showing up on steam, i just re installed steam yesterday and after re installing the game (downloaded from the torrent here) steam downloaded the 2007 SDK but i still can't see black mesa I googled alot but i can't figure it out
If you've done everything correctly what you need to do is restart steam and check your game library.
I know that they are still working on a few other levels that they plan on releasing soon, but does anyone have any idea when this game will be "officially" released on Steam? I hate playing incomplete games just like I hate watching half of a movie, doesn't make much sense.
OK my bad, i installed it in a different location than the default so it wouldn't show up on steam re installed it correctly and restarted steam and it works Very good game, makes me want to play HL2 again after i finish it
All this development time and we got a touched up rerelease (not a reboot) of the original game with 'promises' of future content. Where is this all headed other than back into a vapor ware rumor mill?

For your convenience, here are the lighting definitions as published by the Office of Energy Efficiency at the Department of Natural Resources Canada.
A2LA American Association for Laboratory Accreditation
Average rated lamp life. Manufacturer's estimate of the length of time 50 percent of any large number of lamps can be expected to last.
Ballast An electronic component of every fluorescent fixture. It is used to boost the electric current to start the bulb and to regulate the flow of current to the bulb. An electronic ballast ensures quiet, rapid flicker-free startup and operation. A magnetic ballast, unless ENERGY STAR® qualified, may blink on startup, flicker slightly and/or hum during operation.
Colour rendering index (CRI) Accurate colour replication. A measure of how accurately an artificial light source displays colours. CRI is determined by comparing the appearance of a coloured object under an artificial light source to its appearance under incandescent light. The higher the CRI, the better the artificial light source is at rendering colours accurately. A high CRI (above 80) is preferred in the home. All ENERGY STAR qualified fixtures have lamps with a CRI above 80.
Colour Temperature. Light bulbs emit varying colours of light. Lighting colour ranges from cool to warm tones, and is known as colour temperature. The colour temperature of a light source indicates the colour of the light emitted measured in degrees Kelvin. Colour temperature is not an indicator of lamp heat. The chart below shows a range of colour temperatures, from warm to cool.
Electromagnetic. Having both an electrical and magnetic character or properties.
Electronic Relying on the movement of electrons in circuits containing semiconductors, resistors or capacitors.
Initial performance values. The photometric and electrical characteristics at the end of the 100-hour aging period.
Lamp Colour The colour characteristics of a lamp as defined by the colour appearance and the colour rendition.
Light Output One of the most important considerations in selecting a light source is how much light it will generate. The unit of measure used for determining light output is the lumen. Light output is measured in lumens at the light source. One lumen equals the amount of light generated by a single standard candle.
Light Quality Having good light quality means using the most efficient light source in a luminaire that integrates with the architectural design.
Lumen. A measurement of light output. One lumen is equal to the amount of light emitted by one candle that falls on one square foot of surface located one foot away from one candle.
Lumen Maintenance The luminous flux or lumen output at a given time in the life of the lamp and expressed as a percentage of the initial luminous flux. The mean lumens are the value at 40 percent of rated life.
NVLAP National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program
Power Factor The active power divided by the apparent power (i.e., product of the root mean square [rms] input voltage and rms input current of a ballast.)
Private Labelled CFL An ENERGY STAR qualified CFL lamp purchased and marketed under the brand of an ENERGY STAR Participant other than the manufacturer of the product.
Rated Voltage The voltage marked on the lamp.
Rated Wattage. The wattage marked on the lamp.
Rated Supply Frequency The frequency marked on the lamp.
Rated luminous flux or lumen output Initial lumen rating (100 hours) declared by the manufacturer.
Retired or discontinued product. A product that was properly qualified as ENERGY STAR, no longer manufactured (as of the date on the list), but possibly still available in the market.
Run-up time The time needed for the lamp to reach 80 percent of its stabilized luminous flux after it is switched on.
Self-ballasted compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) A CFL unit that incorporates all elements, permanently enclosed, that are necessary for the starting and stable operation of the lamp and that does not include any replaceable or interchangeable parts.
Starting Temperature The minimum and maximum temperatures at which a lamp will reliably start.
Starting Time The time needed, after being switched on, for the lamp to start fully and remain lighted.
Warranty A manufacturer's written promise regarding the extent to which defective goods will be repaired or replaced.
Watt A unit of electrical power used to indicate the rate of energy produced or consumed by an electrical device. The ENERGY STAR name and symbol are administered and promoted in Canada by Natural Resources Canada and are registered in Canada by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.Date Modified: 2008-12-29 For further imformation, go to Office of Energy Efficiency

Pick your housing before the rest of campus.
This year, 8 lucky students (and their roommates and suitemates) will get the chance to select their housing for next year before the Housing Selection Process opens up to the rest of campus (but after students have had the chance to reclaim their same room/apartment, of course).
Below are the 8 ways you can enter to win. You may enter as many of these as you like!
IMPORTANT NOTE: First-year or incoming transfer students are not eligible to win a Top Lottery Pick, because new students do not select their own housing. Top Lottery Pick prizes are limited to students who are enrolled at UNC during the Spring 2014 semester.

Nelson has already ruled that defense attorneys won't be able to mention Martin's past marijuana use, suspension from school and past fighting during opening statements, although Nelson left open the possibility that the defense could try again later during the trial if it could show relevance. Such a situation could arise if prosecutors attempt to portray Martin as an angelic kid.
"The trial itself is like a symphony," O'Mara said in a recent interview. "You play with those other people around you in the proper way to present the evidence. If they go down a certain path, then we may have to go down a certain path."
Jurors will want to hear from Zimmerman, but his attorneys should wait to see how their case unfolds before putting him on the stand, McClean said. It would be helpful for Zimmerman to get on the witness stand to recount his state of mind, Hill said.
"I can't see how he doesn't," Hill said. "He's the only one who can say 'I was scared for my life and here's what happened.'"
Another crucial witness will be a Miami-area female friend of Martin's who was talking to the teen by cellphone as he was walking through the Retreat at Twin Lakes followed by Zimmerman. She says Martin told her during that conversation that someone was following him and that she also heard a brief exchange between him and someone before the phone was cut off. Martin was shot shortly afterward. But O'Mara already has called into question her credibility, accusing her of lying about missing Martin's funeral because she was in the hospital.
O'Mara said he doubts he will find six jurors and four alternates who haven't heard about the case but his goal is to find jurors who haven't formed opinions. The judge ruled that potential jurors' identities will stay anonymous in an effort to protect them from harassment and public pressure during the trial. She rejected a defense request to sequester the jury candidates during jury selection.
The defense will have a better chance with the jury if its members are older, more conservative citizens who believe in the right to bear arms, said both Hill and McCLean.
"If there are African-Americans on the jury, they are going to sympathize with Trayvon Martin more," McClean said.
Prosecutors have refused to comment about the case outside the courtroom, but lead prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda indicated at a recent hearing he was well aware of the pressures the case's high profile is putting on all parties involved. Reporters from national media groups are attending the trial, and areas outside the courthouse have been designated for expected protests.
"We want to make sure this trial is tried in a courtroom and not outside a courtroom," de la Rionda said.

Hi Studio8Worx! I've just seen your message) Congratulations, great job!
Do you know when you'll have more Deep_Dive shirts available? I've been after one for a while but they've been sold out. :(
The moon is high in the dusk sky, the silence hurts and the gunslingers look like morbid statues, every thing under this light is a lapse of waiting that feels will last forever, there is no tomorrow, and past is just a shadow escaping from this moment, suddenly a sequence of fire break the silence, the black bird screams and many bodies fall inanimated, all is over just for one more day, tomorrow…tomorrow Black Bird will walk again with his eagle for companion and more shadows painting his face and dressing his heart.

The Forces are Coming Together for 2013:
- Changes in Case Mix Dollar Payment
- Coding Changes
- Survey Sanctions
- Increased Audits
- Confusion re newer requirements; ie F2F and Therapy
- New Chronic Care Models
- Affordable Care Act
- And Everything starts with Solid Coding
Changes to 1024
- Significant loss of payment expected: The inability to assign resolved conditions such as skin ulcers could cost 6-12 points. The latter could cost as much as $700 per episode.
- If Agencies cannot report conditions resolved through surgery
- Presently case-mix points are garnered with use of these diagnoses
- CMS proposes that only fracture codes to be placed in M1024
What does this mean? This means a loss of casemix and dollars so documentation must be stellar and every other code must be accurate.
The Coding Specialist is the one who can verify adequacy of initial documentation for the codes assigned, but more importantly, that means: verifies the reasons for the episode of care.
If your coder is not challenging documentation adequacy and specificity, raising questions for the clinician and the physician, and asking for H&Ps and other data, you may be at risk.
- Is your coding team looking at the functional scores of M1800?
- Do your clinicians understand how to answer that question? Clinicians may mark "0" as default answer just because the patient lives alone or does not have a caregiver. "0" or "1" is to be used when the patient has a high level of functionality
Incorrect answers mean increased audit risk. This M question supports reimbursement and is a focus for audits
Proper Coding Sets the Scene for Improved Outcomes
- Coding is not just assigning a code to a diagnosis. It is so much more!
- The clinical assessment must be complete enough to drive and justify a plan of care for 60 days prospectively
- Auditors look at OASIS answers
- They look at the diagnoses code because those codes tell them about the patient and their needs
The frequency and duration must be in sync with the diagnoses assigned
The Coding Specialist should be asking the questions that prompt the precise documentation required.
Precise Coding means Increased Coding Specificity.
- Diagnoses and the ICD-9 codes reported on each and every claim must match the diagnoses reported in M1022
- The OASIS, POC, and the UB-04, must all match
Added to that is the primary reason the physician ordered home health care. Let's discuss F2F.
- M1016 refers to diagnoses requiring Medical or Treatment Regimen changes within the past 14 days prior to the SOC
- The diagnoses of the past 14 days prior to the SOC must be listed
Are the coder s requiring completion of M1016 by the clinician? Surveyors can ask who is completing the OASIS questions. Remember the regulations, only one clinician completes the OASIS integrated assessment. This is NOT to be completed by a coder or clerk.
- M1020a/M1022b/M1024a-f
- Must be cautious as to risk of up-coding and down-coding
- Sequencing must be reflected by specific documentation
Record must reflect homebound status and medical necessity or it can not be coded. Is that verified first?
Has the coding specialist assessed that there has been a review of each medication?
The coding specialist must be certain substantive documentation exists to support each and every code assigned or the code must be omitted or documentation must be obtained.
Does Your Agency Employ a Skilled Internal Coding Auditor?
- Do you employ an internal auditor sampling coding monthly for accuracy?
For instance, have you audited wounds and useage of the correct aftercare code? There is a significant number of codes This is an audit focus.
- Frequently, audits reveal the coder was unaware that aftercare for traumatic fractures is excluded from V58.43 and should instead be reported with codes V54.10-V54.19 (Aftercare for healing traumatic fracture).
This is one of, at least 10 areas that should be audited.
There should be a review checklist for the OASIS, the POC, the UB-04, Codes must match on all three documents
The documentation must substantiate the codes chosen
The codes can significantly impact reimbursement and result in under or up coding. Can you afford the Risk?
- The coding specialist is seeking clarification of medical necessity, viewing clearly defined goals, and proper diagnostic codes
Therapy Documentation
- 6/30/11 large firm had to settle with DOJ:
Price $65 million dollars! This was related to primarily therapy overutilization not justified by assessment or plan of care. That was expensive lack of documentation.
- If 781.2 Abnormality of Gait is used to justify PT care, PT needs specific documentation to support gait and balance and strength e.g. TUG or Tinetti Test Tools. Gait training should be specific with objective measurement progress. The gait should be described specifically and graphically; ataxic, spastic, staggers with increase in ambulation of ___feet this day. Lack of documentation specifics means the coding team must request more detail.
Is your coder verifying the detail of the therapy documentation?
- If 719.7- Difficulty in walking is coded, the therapist should be clear that this is due to e.g. degenerative and chronic joint disease. This code is used for e.g. gait deficiencies due to lower extremity joint stiffness or effusion. If this is not documented the visit is at risk as is the plan.
Is the coding team requesting documentation to support the diagnosis?
- If muscle weakness 728.87 is coded, there should be manual muscle strength tests indicating weakness. The therapeutic plan should have specific exercises and goals related to the weakness. NOTE: Absence of a specific exercise plan can jeopardize visit payments.
- Who is challenging therapy for the SPECIFIC documentation needed?
Do you have Matrixes for M questions? They are needed for consistency.
RACs, MACs, Z-PICs: The Auditors are Unleashed
- What are your agency case mix averages by admission: clinician: diagnosis?
- Do you know your top five diagnostic patient profiles?
- How do you set visit frequencies? Formula-based or what seems right?
- Are you making visits that have no impact on patient outcomes?
Are you auditing for homebound status?
- Are you making visits that have no impact on patient outcomes?
- Are you auditing for medical necessity?
- Does supply useage have adequate supportive documentation?
Do you know what coding, operational, or billing edits you are routinely triggering?
Are you auditing documentation for medical necessity?
What is your cost per visit by discipline?
What is your recertification percentage?
How are you applying the data collected to your business processes?
- The RACs, MACs, MICs, and Z-PICs are now in place. The auditors are expected to perform. They have been chosen based upon performance.
Algorithms and Matrixes are in place using Predictive Analytics.
- CMS is using predictive models to identify patterns found in transactional data gathered to identify risks and potential future behaviors. Auditors are looking at diagnoses in relation to visit frequencies and recertifications.
They are looking at HIPPS scores compared to visit frequencies and durations.
They are looking at predictive models that capture relationships among many factors to allow assessment of risk or potential associated with a particular set of assessment/care frequency/payments expected. In other words, what are the guiding decision-making factors for agency transactions?
- Predictive analytics look at past performance to assess how likely an agency is to exhibit a specific behavior in the future. Poor coding performance places an agency in jeopardy.
- That behavior is then compared to other agencies' behavior in order to calculate risk then encompasses models that seek out subtle data patterns that answer questions about that agency's overall performance.
These analytics quickly become fraud detection models.
- Predictive analytics look at past performance to assess how likely an agency is to exhibit a specific behavior in the future.
- That behavior is then compared to other agencies' behavior in order to calculate risk then encompasses models that seek out subtle data patterns that answer questions about that agency's overall performance.
These analytics quickly become fraud detection models.
- What happens if compliance measures are not employed?
- Targeted Medical Reviews (TMRs)/(ADRs) Additional Documentation Requests will rise.
There will be claim denials and Medicare audits per the OIG as new fraud and abuse countermeasures are put into place.
- Annually, CMS receives 1.2 billion claims.
- That breaks down to 4.3 million claims per work day,
- 574,000 claims per hour, and
- 9,579 claims per minute.
Fraud and abuse are on the rise and the pressure is on. An increasing number of agencies are seeking outside expertise.
Retaining Your Dollars
- Be certain a clinical documentation chart audit is available for all disciplines for clinical records, documentation must be consistent, complete, and defendable..
- The following items should be included in every clinical note:
Homebound status: Identify what taxing effort was exerted if a patient left the house since the last clinical visit. Be certain all assistive devices are listed and/or the caregivers needed, the purpose for leaving the home, and if this was expected and/or a part of the careplan. Initially, this is reviewed by coding.
Identify what skilled the visit. If teaching was conducted, was it initial teaching, reinforcement teaching, or was it re-teaching? Identify in objective terminology measureable progress towards goals; ie for the psych nurse, what evidence toward cognitive structural behavior was identified? For physical therapy, how many feet were walked since the last visit and where does this relate to the plan? For the SN, did the patient identify at least two key side effects for their medications? Does the patient know what their medication is for and what it is expected to do for them? Do they know how to safely take their medications?
- Compare the Visits to the POC: Compare the visit to the plan that is compared to the assessment. Have physician orders or notification for changes in condition. Note all change of condition clearly.
SN should be reviewing the body systems noting VS and pain assessments
When Teaching: Note if the teaching is New, Reinforced Teaching, or Re-teaching of the same subject to, perhaps, another caregiver. Note the caregivers willingness and capacity to learn and carry out the learning skills. Note the patient and caregiver's learning in percentage; ie 70% or 80%.
- Specificity of wounds, skin conditions, falls risk, depression, and the focus of care are necessary. Auditors look for detail; for reasons that support skill. No skill can mean denial of visit payment. Recertification requires significant specific documentation
- Interdisciplinary communication: Comments to the physical therapist or the home health aide or other disciplines should be clearly noted. The visits should show the progress of the care in relation to the plan of care.
- This information is reviewed by the coder for recertification.
Survey Sanctions begin in 2013
Getting a citation is never pleasant, but in 2013, it could also become expensive if your agency is not in compliance with CoPs, has repeat deficiencies, and if the patient is placed in jeopardy.
- The rules place much more pressure on a home health agency requiring excellent documentation of care following a careplan that is consistent with the needs identified in the patient clinical assessment.
- It will require coding to the highest level of specificity.
If outcomes are not achieved because needs were not appropriately identified, visits were missed, or care was not appropriately delivered, an agency could face sanctions.
Does your Coding Team challenge the adequacy of the documentation to support each diagnoses?
- Care should be modified for Patient Response
- Decrease frequency as safety and learning is achieved
- Well established care, properly coded prompts outcomes
Eliminate missed visits, poor compliance, patient and caregiver disconnect
- Looking for Responsible Reasonable Rehab services as well as general care delivery
- Contractors are the agency responsibility
- Are orders and goals tracked and updated?
Does the Recertification process require a review of the prior episode coding? Will your recertification reflect real Need?
Are You Planning for ICD-10?
- You should have a Solid Plan in Place NOW!
- "ICD-10 requires changes to almost all clinical and administrative systems. It requires changes to business processes."CMS
- ICD-10 is one of the most significant events planned for the industry.
It impacts all Home Health departments.
Training needs exist for Coding, Billing, Nurses,
Therapists, Office personnel, IT, and others
- Increased specificity in data means more robust design of algorithms to predict outcomes and care
Increased coding detail offers capability to find previously unrecognized relationships of diseases and variables
ICD-10 Codes provide greater detail in diagnoses and procedural description
Greater number also. 16,000 to more than 68,000 codes. Use of combination codes
ICD-10 codes have up to 7 digits and more alpha characters. The first digit is alpha. A code will be considered invalid if not coded to full number of characters (3,4,6,7)
Systems will be required to accommodate ICD-10 codes
- Injuries are grouped by anatomical site rather than injury category
Post operative complications have been moved to procedure in the specific body system chapter
- ICD-9-CM Digits 2-5 are numeric
- ICD-10-CM Digits 2 and 3 are numeric, digits 4-7 are alpha or numeric
- ICD-9-CM Decimal point after 3rd digit
- ICD-10-CM Decimal point after 3rd digit
- ICD-9-CM Dummy placeholder? NO
- ICD-10-CM Dummy placeholder? YES
- ICD-9-CM 17 Chapters and V/E code chapters
- ICD-10-CM 21 Chapters- V/E codes in disease chapters
- ICD-9-CM 13,000 disease plus V and E codes
- ICD-10-CM 68,000 disease codes, including V and E codes
- ICD-9-CM Codes usually do not indicate timing encounter
- ICD-10-CM Codes specify initial and subsequent encounters
- ICD-9-CM No differentiation between left/right
- ICD-10-CM Differentiates between right and left
- ICD-10 Requires expertise in anatomy, physiology, and diagnostics
The Coding specificity is far greater than ICD-9-CM and the need to better understand A&P and diagnostics is vital.
- Billing and Eligibility Transactions
- New codes mean greater specificity
- Means detailed documentation
CMS states there will be increased rejections, denials, and pends as both plans and providers get accustomed to the new codes.
Technology Impact Includes
- Modifications to Field sizes
- Alphanumeric Composition
- Decimal Use
- Redefining Code Values
- Edit and Logic Changes
- Table Structure Modifications
- Forms Interfaces
Business Ops
- Modifications to Field sizes
- Alphanumeric Composition

Time for an Important New Year's Resolution
- If You are Comfortable that your coding Team can be educated fully and completed in time and be trained economically- Start your Transition Plan NOW!!
Include Anatomy, Physiology, Pathophysiology, Diagnostics, Pharmacology training for Coders and Clinicians. Accent the specificity needed.
Get the entire plan for all departments in place. Verify your clinical software provide, billing clearinghouse, and billing software vendors have a strong plan in place and care share with you when you will be able to parallel coding.
If you are already concerned about reimbursement and cannot afford to not only send your coding team for the over 50 training hours experts say are necessary but must also incur the cost of a replacement team to code and incur the costs of parallel coding (ICD-9 and ICD-10 simultaneously months prior to October 1, 2014, then you should consider third party expertise.
