5 Purpose of April 7, 2015 Webinar  Share information about DSM-5 and the impacts on L&I  Provide an overview of L&I’s engagement with statutory Industrial Insurance Medical Advisory Committee (IIMAC)  Present draft rule changes before formal public comment period  Collect written comments and questions during and following the webinar for review by IIMAC 5

6 Webinar Summary  18 people registered for the webinar (6 external and 12 department staff)  Eleven people attended (5 external and 6 internal department staff)  Received one comment during registration  Received two emails prior to the webinar with feedback.  No feedback or questions received during the webinar. 6

7 Comment Overview  ICD-10 Overlap –Two commenters pointed out that ICD-10 is required October 2015, and L&I should adopt it  L&I response: L&I agrees. – The department is adopting ICD-10 for billing. – DSM-5 is fully compatible with ICD-10 and is a complementary code set for mental health diagnosis and services. 7

8 Comment Overview  Rulemaking Authority and Philosophical Disagreement –One commenter indicated (1) L&I lacks rulemaking authority and (2) that the L&I rule will set L&I policy back prior to a time when the severity and pervasiveness of mental illness was not recognized and it will treat mental conditions different than physical conditions.  L&I Response: L&I disagrees. –The changes update currently existing rules relating to mental health that reference or implement DSM-IV. –The implementation of changes to adopt DSM-5 acknowledges and updates L&I policy and rule to be consistent with the latest clinical guidance. 8

9 IIMAC Discussion  Recommendation: L&I is not recommending changes to the rule language that IIMAC and the sub-committee developed and previously approved based on comments received. Discussion 9
