Radiology billing and RIS developer Imagine Software said that its billing system now supports a dual approach for ICD-10 transactions in combination with ICD-9 codes.
The dual approach means that both code sets can be used for the same procedure and either the ICD-9 or ICD-10 diagnosis format can be delivered depending on date of service requirements, according to Imagine. This allows the staff to become proficient in the ICD-10 system, which must be implemented by 2014, without losing reimbursement opportunities currently coded in ICD-9, the firm said.
