ICD-10: Our Commitment to Industry-wide Adoption and Compliance

As part of our commitment to enabling Sustainable Health Communities, OptumInsight is actively helping clients prepare for the significant changes that ICD-10 compliance will require.  Adoption of ICD-10 will enable more comprehensive and accurate coding of clinical documentation, provide more comprehensive capabilities to report patient care data, and increase the value of clinical analytics by providing highly specific diagnosis and treatment information.

Helping Clients Leverage ICD-10 for Strategic Advantage

OptumInsight provides comprehensive assessment, planning, system remediation and solution implementation services for our clients across the health ecosystem, helping them prepare, test and monitor their systems and business processes for ICD-10 compliance.  Benefiting from the knowledge and expertise of more than 1,500 consultants specializing in health care – including hundreds of board-certified physicians, nurses and affiliated health professionals – OptumInsight clients are already leveraging the ICD-10 mandate to strengthen their business models, improve their clinical and administrative workflow capabilities, and advance their organization’s agendas.

Providing Leading-Edge Solutions

All OptumInsight solutions will be fully ICD-10 compliant in accordance with the Oct. 1, 2013, deadline, as mandated by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). 

We are working across our solutions to establish detailed implementation schedules to help our clients prepare for ICD-10 adoption.  An overall ICD-10 compatibility roadmap will be available in April 2011; this roadmap will be updated continuously with new information about our services and solutions.

In the meantime, requests for specific ICD-10 compatibility timelines may be submitted directly to OptumInsight, and a client relationship manager will respond to your request. 

OptumInsight is committed to our clients’ success and to the widespread adoption of advanced technologies that will improve population health.  For more information about ICD-10 compliance requirements, we invite you to visit the CMS web site  or  contact OptumInsight.
