Wiki Coding With Old Books

I've often found when I'm uncomfortable about telling someone that what they're doing is inappropriate (and what you've described is definitely inappropriate), it helps to phrase it as a question. For example, you could say something like:
"Shouldn't we have up-to-date ICD-9 manuals, just in case some of these codes have been deleted or changed?"
That will give them a chance to explain their reasoning for using out-of-date manuals, while bringing to their attention just one of many reasons why they shouldn't be using '07 ICD-9 manuals.
