ICD-10 code changes have been released for the 2017 fiscal year. Genius is making your update to the 2017 codes push-button easy! But... First you have to update your eTHOMAS program.
Genius made updates to the ICD-10 master list. You will be able to import diagnosis codes directly from this list. To obtain the new master list, you will need to update your eTHOMAS. The version that contains these updates is 9.5.21.
If you would like to be an early adopter, you can call support this next week, and they will get you updated and started. After Sept. 19th you may do a regular THOMAS update to receive the same final 9.5.21 version, and will not have to call support.
For 2017, there are 1,974 additional diagnosis codes, 311 deleted codes, and 425 revised codes. The coding changes are to be used on claims with dates of service from October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017. To view a complete list of changes visit for professional claims you can view them

After your update is complete, you'll have the ability to see changes to your codes that were previously imported. Under the
Utilities Tab >Maintenance>Check Dx Codes will provide you with a list of codes that are loaded into your THOMAS program, that no longer match the master list. This will allow you to update the new revisions and deletions from the previous code set.
You will also have the ability to go to
Code Files>Procedures>Diagnosis and choose the import feature. Under the "
Select For" drop down, you will notice a new category under each breakdown, with (2017) in front of the description. These breakdowns include only the newly added codes for the 2017 fiscal year.
