Providers should also make sure claims submitted over the ICD-10 transition date of October 1 are properly submitted. If a patient came in September 30 and left October 1, that needs to be on two claims.
Providers should split the claims so that services provided before October 1 are submitted on one claim with only ICD-9-CM codes. Services provided on or after October 1 should be on a different claim with only ICD-10-CM codes.
