I watched the AC Webinar on Friday with our staff. Some of the codes are straight conversions, but in other instances the degree of specificity is insane! For instance, a 7 digit code that specifies a RIGHT DISTAL TORUS FRACTURE, NON-DISPLACED, with a number for every part of this is okay, but they also want 2 or 3 other codes because it was a fall from playground equipment and another code because it was at a park location. (They don't want to pay if at a school - they typically have their own insurance). So 3 or 4 separate ICD-10 codes for the fracture because the insurance companies want us to DO ALL THEIR WORK, and because the government also wants to DATA MINE.
