Does the Opendental version 15.2.25 ( I just updated today) comply with ICD code 10? I don't even know what the hell is ICD 10. I guess it is medical coding. So should I be worried, while filing dental claim form? I do see diagnostic code in ADA form, how can I check if it is ICD code?
Thanks

Re: impact of ICD 10 on ADA form
ICD-10 isn't something to "comply" with, you just might be required to start using it instead of ICD-9 or another code system (SNOMED, CDT, etc). ICD-10 is just yet another code system like you mentioned.
You need to be using Open Dental v15.3 or greater to get access to ICD-10. v15.2 only has access to ICD-9:

The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.

Maxillo-Facial Surgeons must use ICD10 to submit medical claims. Otherwise, they get denied

An easy way to think of it-
Before October, were you adding ICD-9 codes to claims? If so, now you need to use ICD-10.
