Since ICD-10 has been delayed yet another year, are the ICD9 codes still frozen.

I didn't order a 2014 book since ive been reading that no new codes have been added I'm still using 2013 ICD-9.

Any recommendations on why I should order the 2014
 
I would not order anything yet. the website :
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/icd.htm
And click on the ICD-9 CM option, the Oct updates are typically posted there by the 1st week of July. There are not suppose to be any updates to either code set until Oct 2015. ICD-9 CM was last updated Oct 1 2011, so there was no need for a 2014 or a 2013 code book. However if the committee feels it is in the best interest of the public that a new code be created then it will be done and you would need a new book. This website will let you know.
