This presentation will review the process of how a clinical service becomes a reimbursed claim by a third party payor.  Core billing rules/guidelines will be discussed as well as how this rules created a wide range or processes that providers are required to comply with to ensure prompt claims payment.  Particular attention will be paid to how these processes impact athletic trainers in the clinical and physician practice settings.
 
ICD-10 Ready or Not here it comes–Bill Griffin, MA, ATC, LAT, CWCE
 
On October 1, 2013 the diagnosis code set will change from ICD-9 to ICD-10.  This is not a simple update but a major change in the format and quantity of diagnosis codes.  In this session we will present an overview of the new ICD-10, a look at the crosswalk between the old and new sets and give some examples of orthopedic diagnoses in the new ICD-10 or I-10 as coders say.
If you have any responsibilities for coding or billing, this topic is a must have on your to do list.
