BlueCross BlueShield of Georgia strives to be an industry leader in meeting the requirements of all mandates, including the implementation of the ICD-10 code set. We recognize that this implementation will represent a transformation of the health care industry, and will impact nearly every part of our business.

 

We have made several key decisions that will guide our implementation strategy. In addition, we have established teams representing all business and technology functions throughout our organization that are dedicated to researching issues, assessing systems, reviewing business processes and educating our associates and affiliates about this critical implementation.

 

BlueCross BlueShield of Georgia is working to help ensure that our systems, supporting business processes, policies and procedures successfully meet the implementation standards and deadlines without interruption to day-to-day business practices. BlueCross BlueShield of Georgia companies will be capable of accepting and processing ICD-10 diagnosis and inpatient procedure codes on the mandated deadline of October 1, 2014.
