Webinars           September 14 and 22                  Noon-2:00pm

All HIPAA covered entities are mandated to transition to new International Classification of Disease or ICD10 codes on October 1, 2015. This unprecedented healthcare industry change will affect all healthcare providers in the United States, including those in the health and human service industry. While the behavioral health and substance use disorder field has historically been “immune” from some of healthcare’s major changes, the ICD-10 transition will deeply affect our clinical and business operations. Understanding the scope and depth of what is needed to continue operations, minimize revenue cycle disruption, and mitigate risk, is imperative. 

Description 

The ICD-10 transition - which goes into effect on October 1st 2015 - will affect every aspect of your practice including billing software upgrades to patient registration to clinical documentation and billing operations. With the effective date fast approaching, now is “crunch time” to prepare.

MADC has partnered with AHP Healthcare Solutions, a health and behavioral health consulting firm, to provide a webinar series intended for all behavioral health care providers, organizations, staff, and administrators who will be affected by the transition to the use of ICD-10 diagnosis codes. The goal of these webinars is to encourage behavioral health professionals to move forward as rapidly as possible with planning, implementation, and testing of ICD-10, both within their own environments, with external payors, and billing outsource vendors or clearinghouses. 

Webinar One Learning Objectives:

• What is the ICD-10 and how does it apply to us in behavioral health/substance use?
• The contextual understanding of the relationship between the ICD and DSM series
• The diagnostic, coding, training, and documentation challenges that come with ICD-10
• How to best prepare for minimal revenue cycle disruption
• How to perform an organization-wide systems assessment
• How to work with your vendors to achieve success

Webinar Two Learning Objectives:

• Understand the major changes to the DSM-5 from the DSM-IV-TR
• Learn how to use DSM-5 in conjunction with ICD-10
  
• Determine when to use the DSM-5 versus the ICD-10 for diagnosing and documentation purposes
• Be able to apply the official CMS coding and documentation rules and guidelines for both the DSM-5 and ICD-10
• Make informed decisions about diagnostic differences and language of the 2 manuals that will impact clients and documentation
• Identify and assess systems operations in your workplace for ICD-10 impact
• Assess Revenue Cycle Impact of ICD-10
• Develop your ICD-10 Revenue Cycle Transition Plan  

A general Q & A session will take place at the end of each webinar.

Trainers

Adrian Bishop, B.Sc., AHP’s Director of eHealth and Organizational Development, has earned a national reputation as a subject matter expert in transforming the way ambulatory care settings deliver services using electronic health records (EHR) and other eHealth technologies. Essential to this work has been consulting with providers about implementing the ICD-10 coding and resulting systems and process changes necessary to make the transition. During the past decade, Mr. Bishop has helped numerous organizations make informed decisions regarding technology tools, helping them to manage the resulting process and culture changes. Though he has helped a diverse range of provider organizations, his specialty is Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), for which he has assessed EHR needs and implemented EHR systems, overseen primary/behavioral/oral health data and workflow integration, facilitated chronic care management/PCMH  compliance with NCQA , and helped providers utilize data for performance measurement and improvement efforts. Mr. Bishop has also collaborated with state regional extension centers to assist FQHCs in meeting Meaningful Use requirements, and he has provided consulting to the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), including reviewing their EHR toolkit. Prior to joining AHP, Mr. Bishop worked as a management consultant in health care and financial services for more than 16 years, mentoring the boards of Fortune 50 companies, as well as training thousands of employees.

Emily Eagle, M.B.A., Informaticist and ICD-10 Expert, has extensive experience in the Health Information Technology (HIT) industry. An expert on ICD-10, she has consulted with HRSA on recommended actions and updates to the 2015 UDS Manual to ensure ICD-10 is properly incorporated. With demonstrated experience in successful projects involving clinical workflow analysis, process mapping and improvement, market research, and change management, Ms. Eagle has been an integral part of teams implementing large-scale clinical efficiency and productivity projects. She led the project to develop AHP’s wave scheduling method for modifying traditional scheduling processes and improving workflow. In addition, she developed a synthetics tool for analyzing process efficiency in clinical settings, as well as tools used for establishing organizational maturity and EHR implementation readiness. Collaborating with HRSA, Ms. Eagle worked with a team to rewrite and design the 2014 Uniform Data System (UDS) training materials for FQHCs and will make further updates for the 2015 reporting year. She also works as a UDS reviewer to assess reports for accurate, meaningful data and to support the FQHCs in ensuring that all data pulled from their EHR accurately reflects their practice.
