Payer software vendor The TriZetto Group Inc. will use 3M Health Information Systems' ICD-10 Code Translation Tool as part of a suite of services to help insurers transition to the ICD-10 code sets and the HIPAA 5010 transaction sets.

Newport Beach, Calif.-based TriZetto initially will integrate Salt Lake City-based 3M Health's technology into a provider contract modeling service and an ICD-10 translation mapping service. TriZetto expects these Web-based services, offered remotely, to be available during the second quarter.

The new provider contract modeling service will assist insurers in mapping ICD-9 to ICD-10 codes and identifying gaps that could disrupt payments because of missing, bundled or unmapped codes. The additional ICD-10 mapping service will combine 3M Health and TriZetto translation tools to help insurers create equivalency maps between ICD-9 and ICD-10, and map them back to the core payer administrative information system.

The new services expand a suite of services that TriZetto introduced last fall. The package, called TriZetto Advantage 10 Services, includes tools to assist in strategic planning, system upgrades and coordination of updated systems.

More information is available at trizetto.com and 3mhis.com/i10Tool.
