DCS has informed us that they require that if you are scanning records, in addition to the requirements posted on their website www.dcsrac.com, individual DVDs should be submitted for each issue topic.

Therefore only debridements go on on one DVD, CVAs on another, and so on.

Also labeling the DVD with permanent marker will suffice.

Although the implementation of ICD-10-CM/PCS will ultimately improve healthcare information capture, complying with the new regulation will impose signicant demands on your organization. The process of transitioning from 14,000 to approximately 70,000 codes can be an overwhelming challenge to your HIM staff and the financial ramifications to your facility can be dramatic if they are not adequately prepared in advance of the compliance deadline. Don’t let the learning curve associated with the ICD-10 transition put your cash flow and financial stability at risk!

Cybergistics is ready to assist your organization with a practical, gradual and affordable ICD-10 Readiness Program designed to minimize the negative impacts of ICD-10 through early planning and customized training programs.
