Support for H.R. 2652 H.R.2652
114th Congress (2015-2016) Introduced in House:( Protecting Patients and Physicians Against Coding Act of
2015 "The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS),
in carrying out regulations providing for the replacement of ICD-9
(International Classification of Diseases-9) with ICD-10 as a standard code
set, shall provide
for a two-year grace period during which physicians and other health care providers
submitting claims and other documents using ICD-10 are not penalized for errors,
mistakes, and malfunctions relating to the transition to such code
set. HHS shall also
give these practitioners assistance during the grace period. The Government Accountability Office shall study this
transition for Congress." https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/2652/text Let me introduce myself. I'm Tom Dwyer, a Subject Matter Expert and
Forensic Data Analyst for the 2016 ICD 9-10 GEM Data Exceptions and
Anomalies. My Red Raven Productions presentations represent my Didactically
Salubrious Subject Matter Expertise in the International Statistical
Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 9th revision of the
Clinical Modification code set, 10th revision of the Clinical Modification
code set, General Equivalence Mapping 2000 thru 2016, including analytics on
the Data-Exceptions and Anomalies that will impact occurrences to the Historically
Accurate and Auditable Digital Representation of the Medical Diagnosis
Provenance for countless Patients and HealthCare. I have over 40 years of experience in Data-Processing/IT, and have
been an SME ICD 9-10 GEM Data Exceptions and Anomalies Data Analyst since
2000. As a Requirements Analyst, Data Analyst, DataBase Analyst
and DataBase Administrator (DBA), I worked with many HealthCare
("Users") Entities including, but not limited to, Blue Cross Blue
Shield Association (BCBSA), Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (WellPoint
Health Networks, Inc.), Health Care Service Corporation (HCSC/BCBS), Batuta
Medical Billing/Medical World Solutions, and Hartford Hospital. http://RedRaven.Productions The implementation crisis of the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 has
the greatest impact on small to medium healthcare provider practices. On many
social and professional media websites, the common question raised by these
providers concerns the current ICD-10 H.R.4302, SEC. 212 law scheduled to go
into effect on 2015/10/01 and what impact the implementation date has on
them. Some providers may choose to drop out from Medicare and drop off the
HealthCare Payer's "provider list," thus impacting patients. The
H.R.2652 will support providers with the ICD-9 to ICD-10 version upgrade. My presentations help explain the ICD 9-10 GEM Data Exceptions and
Anomalies in the HHS/CMS/CDC 2016 data so Patients and HealthCare Providers
can develop a more informed opinion, and suggest possible courses of action. On 2010/04/27, I attended the CMS "ICD-10 Vendor Conference"
in Washington DC and helped to identify issues for a GAP analysis. I would
suggest that similar and multiple "ICD-10 Provider Awareness"
seminars be organized now, as soon as possible, to help HealthCare Providers
understand the ICD 9-10 GEM and avoid the "errors,
mistakes, and malfunctions" from any data exceptions and
anomalies. On 2012/09/20, I attended a CMS "Healthcare Fraud Awareness
Symposium," where I discussed the possibility that the data exceptions
and anomalies would increase the chances of an increase of more false
positives from Providers' "errors, mistakes, and malfunctions." On 2012/09/21, I attended a CMS live activity entitled
"ICD-10-CM: Preparing for a Successful Implementation," where I
discussed the "errors,
mistakes, and malfunctions" from data exceptions and anomalies
that may impact the participants. The 2015/06/04 H.R.2652 Bill hopes to alleviate the problem and not
penalize HealthCare Providers for any "errors, mistakes, and
malfunctions relating to the transition" and promises to provide them with assistance during the two-year
grace period. What forms that "assistance" will take are yet
to be determined. A GAP analysis "STUDY" is necessary and proposed in
H.R.2652. My Red Raven Productions Presentations will help give HealthCare
Providers the proper overview of the data exceptions and anomalies to help
mitigate the impact to the Historically Accurate and Auditable Digital
Representation of the Medical Diagnosis Provenance for countless Patients and
HealthCare Entities. My Red Raven Productions website will assist in ICD-10 implementation
by supporting the "STUDY" committees and groups, thus helping to
formulate actual public education incentive grants like the "Meaningful
Use" TITLE IV of The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The
great majority of HealthCare Providers with whom I have discused this with
are still unaware of the ARRA and can not find information or application
forms for the "meaningful use" program. They have numerous concerns
relating to the upcoming 2015/10/01 deadline date and how they will be
impacted. HHS 2016 downloads include a number of changes and updates, so as we
go forward I caution Patients and HealthCare Providers to become aware of the
2016 ICD 9-10 GEM Data Exceptions and Anomalies. Please enjoy my "Multimedia-Video-PDF" presentation and
let's open a discussion for debate. http:// ICD-GEM.com /
