ICD-10 and CPT code updates for 2016


On October 1, 2015, the use of ICD-10 CM codes becomes mandatory for all providers to be used on all claims
dated October 1 or later. Your current database of ICD-9 CM codes will not be used other than as a reference to
find the right ICD-10 code but will remain in claims prior to October 1, 2015. To help with the transition from
ICD-9 to ICD-10, we have created a crosswalk tool that will help you find the ICD-10 code that best matches the
ICD-9 code formally used for the diagnosis which will help. The crosswalk is available in the Claim Create function
of your system. You may contact our support department for questions about the crosswalk tool.

The entire 2016 ICD-10 code sets, as provided by the CDC, have been automatically uploaded to your
system for you. Therefore, there is nothing you need to do to get ICD-10 CM codes in your system this year.

If your practice wishes to update your system with the 2016 CPT codes as well, this is optional as it is every year
and falls under the license agreement, we have in place with the American Medical Association (AMA). Licensing fees
for codes will remain at $ 100.00 per practice. The 2016 CPT codes will be available for delivery sometime in October.
If you choose to purchase them, they will be automatically uploaded to your system as they become available.

To order your 2016 CPT codes, select the Order Now button below. By doing so, your practice will automatically receive
the 2016 codes when they become available. Per your order, your practice will see the license fee of $ 100.00 plus
applicable sales tax added to your next invoice from us. In addition, you will also be provided, via the email address*
you provide in your order, a receipt as notification that the 2016 CPT codes have been uploaded to your system. Make
sure that the email address you supply is a valid email address, as it will be used for future communications from us
when we need to provide additional information to you about your system.

If you have any questions, please call our office at 800-248-4298 or via email support@duxware.com

Note: Any email address that you provide will never be used by anyone outside of our company nor will it be used for
purposes other than to provide information to you about your system when necessary.
