- [Voiceover] Truly, thank you for that. As you guys are thinking about what is going on in the DSM-5, let's pause before we jump into this slide and let's put up the next polling question, polling question number two, please. And let's see where you guys are at with DSM-IV-TR or DSM-5 in your agency, your private practice or wherever you're working right now Casinoslots New Zealand .
Give it a minute for everybody to jump into that polling question. Are you just using DSM-IV or are you just using DSM-5? Neither or some of you are using both. And then in a few seconds we'll broadcast the results, if we haven't already. Let's see those results. Okay, one person is still just using DSM-IV and I want Denise E. to kind of address that and eight people are using DSM-5 already, that's shown some progression, more people than I expected are using DSM-5. There are zero agencies that are using neither. That gives me hope that you're using good materials out there, because, of course, there's controversy around DSM, but at least it's a springboard and it's something that we generally have to use if we're trying to get insurance and other reimbursement. And some people, two people, are using both. Denise if you could spend a minute, Denise E., talking about your experience with Medicaid and billing and what's happening with your use of the DSM-IV and five. - [Voiceover] Actually, the results were actually interesting to me too, because we are using primarily the four because of Medicaid. They have told us that they are not going to be moving to actually DSM-5 at all, now the reason for that is currently, we use the DSM-IV plus ICD-9 because the language in the two is not the same, so we need to use both for diagnosis and billing. When we move to ICD-10, after the the first of the year, is my understanding, it keeps being moved back, the language in the ICD-10 encompasses the language from the DSM-5, so there's no point in using two different documents, so we're gonna be only using the one document when that kicks into place, but for the time being, to get reimbursed by Medicaid and many insurance companies, we're still... (silence) trained in those kinds of things, so my staff is slowly getting trained in the DSM-5 because we will be using it as part of our Medicaid reimbursement in the ICD-10 just not necessarily separate and then I also wanted you, Denise Q., to address the issues around if you're going to be sitting for your alcohol, your licensure or certification in front of the oral board. - [Voiceover] Absolutely. When you are preparing to take the oral, well, first of all, the written, you have to certainly do a lot of book learning to get ready for the written and I know right now that the written exams for the alcohol and drug counselor for the state of Nevada test are all coming off DSM-IV and ASAM, so let me talk a minute about ASAM. The ASAM Criteria, it used to be ASAM PPC-2R, where we would do patient placement and use the... - [Voiceover] Crosswalk. - [Voiceover] Crosswalk, I wanna call it boardwalk, I knew it was a walk of some kind, we'd use all that crosswalk stuff for placement of our alcoholics and drug addicts. There was nothing like that for gamblers and that was the genesis of creating the Gambling Patient Placement Criteria because we wanted something specific for gamblers, so those of us who created that started noticing that as the ASAM criteria was being written over the last couple of years, my colleague, Colin Hodgen, and I had the privilege of being one of the field reviewers, two of the field reviewers out west here, and we got to see comments being made about what was necessary and what they wanted to have in the ASAM Criteria, so we even got our names in the back of the book, it's pretty exciting.
