According to the agreement, HCL’s Proprietary ICD 10 Transformation Framework will help Blue Shield of California to transition people, processes, and technology from ICD-9 to ICD-10. HCL’s ICD 10 Transition framework with built-in proprietary tools, takes a comprehensive approach to assessment & remediation, and automates a significant amount of the transition exercise to streamline compliance efforts. The iCRM (ICD Crosswalk and Reimbursement Mapping™) web based tool can be integrated with any application or system in the Payer organization’s portfolio.  It addresses all types of integration and data handling with respect to real-time, batch and user queries while ensuring an improvement in the quality measurement of data, research, organizational monitoring, and performance.

“Blue Shield of California is committed to achieving clinical equivalence with ICD-10. HCL’s experience and tools are in line with our mission to make care affordable by helping us manage risks to benefit neutrality, financial neutrality, and operational efficiency,” said Karen Rossbach, Senior Director and ICD-10 Executive Driver at Blue Shield of California.

“HCL understands that the transition to ICD-10 is a complex compliance mandate with significant impact on payer organizations’ processes, technology, as well as people”, said Pradep Nair, Senior Vice President for Healthcare, HCL Technologies. “We are committed to helping Blue Shield of California make a seamless transition.”

In addition to Blue Shield of California, several other Blue Cross Blue Shield Association member companies and national plans including United Health Group are working with HCL Technologies on ICD-10 transition initiatives.
