OrionNet Systems has received numerous commendations and positive reviews from their clients for how they handled the ICD-10 transition.

“We couldn’t be happier with how well the transition has been going,” said Clyde Wafford, president of OrionNet Systems. “We’ve received a lot of positive feedback from our clients. It’s great to know that our hard work paid off.”

If you aren’t completely familiar with the switch, October 1 was the official date to switch to the ICD-10 coding system for diagnoses, for billing and claims. The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) was developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and is used to report medical diagnoses and inpatient procedures. All entities covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 are required to use the ICD coding system for all billing and claims – this includes payers, provider organizations, and hospitals. The United States has been in the process of switching from the ICD-9 classification system to the newer tenth version of the ICD for the past few years – with many problems along the way.

One of OrionNet Systems’ clients had this to say, “I checked my claim…and it's perfect. Again, thanks to your wonderful staff for making this so easy.”

There were also many comments from clients saying that they [OrionNet Systems] saved them a bunch of time and money.

OrionNet Systems is still offering one-on-one ICD-10 assistance sessions with their support team for their clients.

“We are willing to help out any one of our clients that need it,” said Clyde Wafford. “As a company and individuals, we are dedicated to making sure that the behavioral health and substance abuse industry in the United States is the best that we can make it.”
