  3. “With you when it matters…” Health Care Reform Health Care Reform adds new information, requirements and details to an already complex business. Health Care Reform has affected every aspect of our organization. Several changes and processes have been implemented to align Coventry with current and future policies, such as: - Internal education - New benefit plans built - Communication developed for physicians, member and employer groups - Correspondence (letters and EOB/ Remittance Advices) - Finance, Actuary, and Underwriting changes have been made to address MLR requirements More information on Health Care Reform is available via the Health Care Reform link on www.chcmo.coventryhealthcare.com

  6. “With you when it matters…” ICD-10 CM: 2014 Updates • Our design, development, testing and deployment are aligned for the October 1, 2015 ICD-10 compliance date. We have completed all analyses, including gap and system impact inventory, and system remediation. We have engaged the impacted areas of our company in our business assessments. We will be ready for the move from the ICD-9 codes to ICD-10 codes. • The 10/1/2015 compliance date may seem far off, but the complexity of conversion requires immediate action to address the business and clinical issues associated with the transition. The ICD-10 conversion will affect nearly all provider systems and many processes. The largest impacts will likely be in clinical and financial documentation, billing and coding. It is critical not to delay planning and preparation. It is important that providers contact their billing or software vendor to understand their plans for conversion and testing.

  7. “With you when it matters…” ICD-10 CM: 2014 Updates • Coventry is a member of HIMSS and WEDI, and actively participates on many industry workgroups and task forces related to IDC-10.
