I continue to read that the new PCS codes, effective along with ICD-10 as of 10/1/15, are for inpatient hospital coding only. The new PCS codes will replace volume 3 of ICD-9 as are for hospital coding. I have been coding volume 3 ICD-9 codes per ASC administration request. But, PCS codes are overwhelming - even with PCS Mapping book to cross reference.
DO ANY ASC's CODE WITH VOLUME 3 FROM ICD-9 THAT WILL BE TRANSITIONING OVER TO ALSO CODE WITH THE NEW PCS CODES?
Just a quick response of YES or NO would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you -- Ann J.
