2017 ICD-10 Revisions are Here!
ICD-10 code changes have been released for the 2017 fiscal year. Genius is making your update to the 2017 codes push-button easy! But... First you have to update your eTHOMAS program.
Genius made updates to the ICD-10 master list. You will be able to import diagnosis codes directly from this list. To obtain the new master list, you will need to update your eTHOMAS. The version that contains these updates is 9.5.21.
If you would like to be an early adopter, you can call support this next week, and they will get you updated and started. After Sept. 19th you may do a regular THOMAS update to receive the same final 9.5.21 version, and will not have to call support.
For 2017, there are 1,974 additional diagnosis codes, 311 deleted codes, and 425 revised codes. The coding changes are to be used on claims with dates of service from October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017. To view a complete list of changes visit for professional claims you can view them HERE.
After your update is complete, you'll have the ability to see changes to your codes that were previously imported. Under the Utilities Tab >Maintenance>Check Dx Codes will provide you with a list of codes that are loaded into your THOMAS program, that no longer match the master list. This will allow you to update the new revisions and deletions from the previous code set.
You will also have the ability to go to Code Files>Procedures>Diagnosis and choose the import feature. Under the "Select For" drop down, you will notice a new category under each breakdown, with (2017) in front of the description. These breakdowns include only the newly added codes for the 2017 fiscal year.

Two Special Genius Post Oct 1st ICD-10 Calls
Genius Solutions is planning two special conference calls after the October 1st ICD-10 deadline to address up-to-the minute news, tips, and resolutions to any ICD-10 issues that our clients are experiencing after the October 1st deadline.
There are two dates scheduled, Tuesday 10/6/2015 and Friday 10/9/2015. Both calls will be at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time.
Genius Solutions eTHOMAS October 1st instructions for ICD-10
First
You should complete as much of your ICD-9 posting as soon as possible. This means all dates of service BEFORE today (October 1, 2015) should be entered and billed out in ICD-9. You will need to use the new ICD-10 codes for all of your billing with a date of today (Oct 1st), and moving forward.Next
Once you've billed all of your ICD-9 claims out, and are ready to make ICD-10 the default setting for posting claims in eTHOMAS, you need to turn on the ICD-10 setting in eTHOMAS, which is called ICD10DEFAULT, then you can start entering your new claims using the ICD-10 diagnoses.9/30/15
On this last pre-ICD-10 day...
We've been working with you for over three years on getting ready for ICD-10. Hopefully you feel as confident about it as we do. For any final items you think you may have missed or are unsure of I am here to remind you of some of your available ICD-10 resources, so you can double-check and relax.
The Genius Solutions ICD-10 Resource Page (with stuff from us, Medicare, our YouTube Videos, etc.).
You can still sign up and participate in free ICD-10 webinars today or tomorrow: General eTHOMAS webinar listings and ehrTHOMAS webinar listings.
There is also a link to Mark's special END of the MONTH (September) Conference Call he held last Friday.
If you've participated with us on this journey we know you've got this, because we've prepared you for it. If you have prepared properly, tomorrow will just be another billing day - with 70,000+ more choices! Congratulations, go ahead, pat yourself on the back, get another cup of coffee, and prepare to be paid!

ICD-10 Flexibilities
In early July, the the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the American Medical Association (AMA) issued a joint statement about having some additional flexibility in the ICD-10 claims reporting process to help physicians with the transition, by making it just a tad easier. Since then they've received and answered a lot of questions and have put together a document of important, need to know, information... The new document is called:
"Clarifying Questions and Answers Related to the July 6, 2015 CMS/AMA Joint Announcement and Guidance Regarding ICD-10 Flexibilities"
CMS also reminds you to bookmark and regularly check their ICD-10 resources to help keep you in the know and in the flow for ICD-10.
