Affinity is conducting internal modeling exercises to examine the potential financial impacts of ICD-9 to ICD-10 mappings as they relate to APR-DRG and APG calculations.
A key objective of Affinity's ICD-10 strategy is, wherever possible, to maintain benefit and financial neutrality. Affinity will not attempt to use the transition to ICD-10 as a vehicle for altering provider reimbursements at the expense of its providers.
