One of the big-ticket items the Office of Inspector General (OIG) 2016 Work Plan will focus on is “how well” the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services implemented the 10th version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) codes into the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

It also will assess how the transition to ICD-10 is affecting claims processing, including claims resubmissions, appeals and medical reviews.
