The web-based software alerts users to ICD-10 codes that don’t support medical necessity for a CPT code, improper ICD-10 code combinations and beneficiary-diagnoses mismatches.
“To date the scrubber had only ICD-9-CM as diagnosis code entry option. Going forward, a user can decide which type of Dx code to use in a scrubbing claim — ICD-9 or ICD-10-CM — at the top part of the tool before entering any data. The tool’s logics have been updated to suit ICD-10-CM codes’ characteristics,” said Apoorba Ganguly, CPC, CPMA, senior coding analyst and product manager for SuperCoder.com, owned by the Coding Institute.
