Everyone is preparing for the move to the highly improved ICD-10 code system from the normally used ICD-9 codes. One of the main benefits for the move is that the new codes will be able to improve interoperability which is quite an innovative concept. Interoperability is the process by which diverse systems and organizations work for an overarching goal.
ICD-9 codes had the drawback of producing limited data output about patient’s medical conditions and hospital procedures. ICD-9 is also perceived outdated as it is 30 years old thus the need to move on and be consistent with the current medical practices. ICD-10 codes will be able to restructure the diagnosis classification system s and accommodate advances in medical knowledge and technology.
Physical therapies have also been updated in ICD 10 codes to give them the much needed new outlook. Physical therapy codes in ICD9 were essentially 93.09 for "Other diagnostic physical therapy procedure", 93.24 for "Training in use of prosthetic or orthotic device" and 93.39 for "Other physical therapy".
Other ICD-10 codes for physical therapy worth a note include F0131ZZ for Integumentary integrity assessment of neurological system - whole body and Integumentary integrity assessment of neurological system - whole body and F024GCZ for Ventilation, respiration and circulation assessment of circulatory system - head and neck using mechanical equipment.
ICD 10 Code F024GGZ will be used for Ventilation, respiration and circulation assessment of circulatory system - head and neck using aerobic endurance and conditioning equipment and F024GYZ for Ventilation, respiration and circulation assessment of circulatory system - head and neck using other equipment.
ICD-10 code F024GGZ will be used for Ventilation, respiration and circulation assessment of circulatory system - head and neck using aerobic endurance and conditioning equipment while F024GYZ will be used for Ventilation, respiration and circulation assessment of circulatory system - head and neck using other equipment.
ICD1O Code F0FZDEZ will stand for Caregiver training in application, proper use and care of devices using orthosis and F0FZDFZ for Caregiver training in application, proper use and care of devices using assistive, adaptive, supportive or protective equipment.
ICD 1O Code F0FZDUZ will be used for Caregiver training in application, proper use and care of devices using prosthesis while 9WB0XBZ for Chiropractic manipulation of head, non-manual
These are some of the most popular ICD-10 codes that will be used for physical therapy to ensure quality safety and efficient care. These ICD-10 codes will also design payment systems and will be used to process claims for reimbursement among many more.
ICD-10 codes will be the real deal in the health care industry as soon as they come into use as from 1st October 2014 . More current information will be provided to the health care providers thereby allowing for better decisions to be made. Doctor’s physicians and technicians will be able to communicate efficiently without necessarily having to wait for return calls and appointments. ICD-10 codes will ensure the diagnosis process is as specific as possible thereby allowing for financial cost of the transition to be less expensive.

ICD 10 Codes for Physical Therapy
The ICD-9 Physical therapy codes have been replaced with new ICD-10 codes such as FO101Z for Integumentary integrity assessment of neurological system - head and neck. The code for Integumentary integrity assessment of neurological system - upper back / upper extremity will be F0111ZZ and F0111ZZ for Integumentary integrity assessment of neurological system - lower back / lower extremity.Other ICD-10 codes for physical therapy worth a note include F0131ZZ for Integumentary integrity assessment of neurological system - whole body and Integumentary integrity assessment of neurological system - whole body and F024GCZ for Ventilation, respiration and circulation assessment of circulatory system - head and neck using mechanical equipment.
