because our country still has icd9, how do we even have accurate reporting for these communicable diseases if we are coding them with an unspecified code?
If you submit to the state health department registry, help me understand how they have accurate numbers for these viruses that have surfaced after icd9?
Just for the heck of it....today i tried to find ebola. I could not find the word "ebola" in my coding book. :/
Forgive me, I may be a little neurotic as my son is in the military and very recently, his aircraft made rounds....evacuating US citizens out of Africa. Naturally.....i worry for his health.
