Over 13 million Claims from up to 2,430 Hospitals and 630,000 Providers Successfully Processed Since Oct. 1st

October 1st came and went without catastrophe. As expected, critical metrics have not moved much yet. But it's still early. The good news: providers are getting claims out the door. But we haven't yet seen the real impact of ICD-10. Now is the time to monitor those KPIs. (Graphic: Business Wire)

ALPHARETTA, Ga.--()--As of today, RelayHealth Financial has successfully processed over $25 billion in claims using ICD-10 codes. This dollar volume represents more than 13 million institutional and physician claims processed using RelayHealth Financial’s revenue cycle management solutions, including RelayClearance Plus, RelayAssurance Plus, ConnectCenter, and EDI Services.

“From having our entire portfolio ready a full two years before the deadline to our comprehensive testing program and, most recently, the introduction of ICD-10 Central’s real-time analytics dashboard, RelayHealth Financial has led the industry with investments to help ensure a smooth transition for providers,” said Joshua Berman, ICD-10 Lead for RelayHealth Financial. “Claims are flowing successfully, and now the industry must be ready to tackle the next set of challenges: timely and correct reimbursement. As always, RelayHealth is ready to help its customers build on their ICD-10 successes.”

Providers can monitor critical industry KPIs affected by ICD-10 on RelayHealth Financial’s real-time analytics dashboard at ICD10Central.com. Among these metrics, Berman notes that Days to Final Bill is important to keep an eye on, as it indicates whether providers are generating claims using ICD-10 as efficiently as they did using ICD-9. This number could drop, but should rebound once providers gain proficiency in using ICD-10. If the number dips and does not rebound, urgent attention is required, Berman said.

Visit ICD10Central.com to monitor real-time Days to Final Bill results across the industry, as well as metrics including Days to Payment, Denial Rate, and Reimbursement Rate.
