CMS will periodically hold national provider conference calls that will provide an overview of ICD-10-CM/PCS and how it differs from ICD-9-CM. When each call is announced, registration information will be provided on this page. All calls are free of charge. If you are unable to participate in a scheduled call, a transcript of the call will be made available. ICD-10-CM/PCS National Provider Conference Calls The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will host a series of national provider calls (see below) that will provide an overview of ICD-10 and how it differs from ICD-9-CM. The presentations will include the major impacts providers should consider when planning to update any systems with ICD-10 codes. Issues such as differences in code length, alpha-numeric characters, and increased details captured by the codes will be explained. For the provider, payer, vendor, and publishing community, this overview will help them think about future reporting, system updates, and training, considering that ICD-10 may be implemented in the future. The presenters will include members of the Cooperating Parties for ICD-9-CM, a formal coalition that has been working together on ICD-10 issues. The role of each will be explained, along with a similar role they will play should ICD-10 be implemented. The Cooperating Parties include CMS, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), and American Hospital Association (AHA). The PowerPoint slide presentation that will be discussed during the conference calls can be accessed in the Downloads Section below by selecting "ICD-10 Overview Presentation."
