Neurosurgery Coding Alert
ICD-10 Will Also Feature These New Codes
Question: Last month’s issue of Neurosurgery Coding Alert contained information on several new and revised ICD-10 codes for 2024. Are there any more ICD-10 codes we should know about for 2024?> Florida Subscriber> Answer: Yes, there are. We covered most of the neurosurgery-specific diagnosis codes coming in 2024 in the article “ICD-10 2024: Update Includes New Dx Codes for Parkinson’s, Epilepsy” in Neurosurgery Coding Alert volume 24, number 8. There are, however, several other new codes that weren’t addressed in that article. Check out the other new codes you might want to familiarize yourself with before ICD-10 2024 takes effect on October 1, 2023: Note: Look for more information on these new codes in future issues of Neurosurgery Coding Alert.
