ICD-10 Ready

Yes. Medical Manager is capable of handling ICD-10 when paired with Waystar, a claims clearinghouse that complies with the mandate and submits claims in the ICD-10 format.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), on April 1, 2014, Medicare will accept paper claims on only the revised CMS 1500 claim form, 02/12; and on and after April 1, 2014, Medicare will no longer accept claims on the old CMS 1500 claim form, 08/05.

Also according to CMS, on October 1, 2015, ICD-9 code sets used to report medical diagnoses and inpatient procedures will be replaced by ICD-10 code sets.

No, you can meet the ICD-10 mandate without a costly Version 12 upgrade or temporary software patch to Medical Manager. All it takes is enrollment with Ziremd, a claims clearinghouse that complies with the mandate, and an affiliation with a practice management support firm that can appropriately modify billing formats and intake fields.

By keeping it! Years or even decades ago, you made a smart investment in one of the then-leading practice management systems on the market. This is a proven financial system that has successfully performed time and again as the very heart of your practice cash flow. So, keep it and be sure to surround it with other reliable third-party tools to make it operate optimally. These sorts of tools include a claims clearinghouse that complies with the ICD-10 mandate and also offers a variety of real-time revenue cycle management services.
