ICD-10
- ICD-10-Evident-Business Operations
Version 1919 will be required to meet ICD-10 compliance.
- ICD-10-TruBridge-Misc.
No. Unless you obtain a TruBridge Consulting Service contract there will be no costs associated with ICD-10 compliance.
- ICD-10-Evident-Software Functionality and Processes
The physician or employee who enters Problems via the Problem List should ensure that he/she selects a problem that has both an ICD-9 and ICD-10 code present. Accounts that contain Problems that only have an ICD-9 code should be recoded so that they also contain an ICD-10 code.
- ICD-10-Evident-Software Functionality and Processes
Evident customers should contact each of their payers to determine which ones will continue to require ICD-9 codes after Oct. 1, 2015. This information should be relayed to Evident. To ensure proper billing setup, Evident must be informed of all payers that will continue to accept ICD-9 codes after Oct. 1, 2015.
- ICD-10-Evident-Interfaces
Version 19 is required for the ICD-10 supporting software and encoder development. However, please note that it is highly recommended that all facilities utilize the current version of Thrive for the latest enhancements and development. Users should be sure to allow for the potential that a vendor may have additional settings or requirements specific to their encoders. Evident customers will need to work directly with their vendor to confirm those.

- ICD-10-Evident-Software Functionality and Processes
New tables were created to store the ICD-10 CM and PCS code sets. Evident is also modifying Thrive to accept ICD-10 codes in all locations that currently accept ICD-9 codes.
- ICD-10-Evident-Software Functionality and Processes
Changes are recommended if ICD-9 diagnosis codes are included on a clinic’s hardcopy superbill (fee ticket). Because one ICD-9 code can “map” to multiple ICD-10 codes, it is not possible for Evident to determine which ICD-10 codes should be present on a clinic’s superbill (fee ticket). NOTE: Clinics that plan to use a superbill (fee ticket) that contains ICD-10 codes should send a finalized copy of the superbill (fee ticket) to Evident’s Thrive Provider EHR department so that it may be programmed.
- ICD-10-Evident-Interfaces
Thrive version 1919.19 is required to upload ICD-10s for any interface that is configured using the Interface Management System (IMS). Note: The interface must be reconfigured by Evident Interface Support in order to process inbound ICD-10 codes.
- ICD-10-TruBridge-Readiness
TruBridge is on track to meet the ICD-10 deadline of Oct. 1, 2015. We are currently working with payers to establish testing partnerships. We plan to test with any payer that is accepting ICD-10 test files, just as we did for the 5010 conversion.
- ICD-10-Evident-Software Functionality and Processes
No. In the event that there are payers who will continue to accept ICD-9 codes after Oct. 1, 2015, the ICD-9 codes cannot be disabled.

Evident will communicate important ICD-10 information through methods such as Release Notes, Transmittal Notes, corporate emails, website updates and webinar presentations.
- ICD-10-Evident-Software Functionality and Processes
Evident has created a number of reports in Report Writer that will pull ICD-10 codes. These reports are currently available in the Report Dashboard. As additional reports become available, they will be distributed and placed in the Report Dashboard. Evident will inform customers of newly-distributed reports through Transmittal Notes.
- ICD-10-Evident-Software Functionality and Processes
Yes. Evident will be removing the hard-coded diagnosis section as well as the ability to manually add an ICD-9 code to an “other” box. In Thrive Provider EHR, the best practice is to add all diagnosis codes in the Physician Problem List as this is a requirement for Meaningful Use. As long as a diagnosis is added to the Problem List and the addressed date matches the date of service, then it will pull to the electronic superbill. After the provider reviews and posts the entries, they can be viewed in the Transaction Entry screen.

- ICD-10-Evident-Software Functionality and Processes
No. New files had to be created to store the ICD-10 codes. At Evident, all new files are created using PostgreSQL® database. Because Ad Hoc reporting only reads COBOL files, it will not be possible to generate Ad Hoc reports for ICD-10 code information.

Yes. In order for any individual to code in ICD-10, specific behavior controls must be activated.

Clinical Vocabulary is required for ICD-10.

Customers who are not certain if Clinical Vocabulary has been installed at their facility should contact their Evident Sales Account Manager.

Yes. All coders should be double-coding accounts at this time. This will familiarize the coder with the ICD-10 code set as well as the updated Grouper screen. It is also an excellent way to evaluate the provider’s documentation. This is important because it will allow facilities to know whether or not they need to complete additional ICD-10 documentation training for their providers.
- ICD-10-Evident-Software Functionality and Processes
Yes. It is Evident’s recommendation that all Thrive users use the software accessed via the “Grouper” button.

- ICD-10-Evident-Software Functionality and Processes
Yes. Clinical documentation should be modified to capture key coding concepts such as laterality (left vs. right), whether the visit is due to an initial or subsequent encounter for an injury, trimester of pregnancy, weeks of gestation, single or multiple births, details regarding diabetes and related complications, detailed information on fractures, etc.
- ICD-10-Evident-Interfaces
CCDA documents include problems from the Patient Problem list and SNOMED codes. Diagnosis codes from the patient’s grouper are not part of the CCDA and, therefore, will not be affected with the ICD-10 transition.
- ICD-10-Evident-Software Functionality and Processes
ICD-10 codes are required on claims for discharges on or after Oct. 1, 2015. Accounts discharged on or after that date should be coded in ICD-10. Programming will be in place that will pull ICD-9 codes to claims for patients who were discharged prior to Oct. 1, 2015. Unless Evident and TruBridge are specifically notified of payers that will continue to accept ICD-9 codes after Oct. 1, 2015, all claims discharged on or after Oct. 1 will pull ICD-10 codes.
