Wiki ICD-9 updates now that ICD-10 deadline moved

[sullivak]

I'm wondering if anyone has any information on whether there will be updates this year for ICD-9. I know there were none planned when the ICD-10 implementation date was October 1, 2013, but now that it is October 1, 2014???
Thanks.

It hasn't officially been moved yet. We are still waiting on the final rule, which will probably contain information regarding updates, etc.

Thanks, LeeAnn. Good point! I guess I jumped the gun on this.

Any ICD-9 updates for 2013?

Does anyone know if there are any ICD-9 changes planned for 2013 now that the implementation date for ICD-10 has been announced as 2014?

There are no diagnosis code changes to ICD-9 there is one volume 3 procedure code addition. There are no more planned updates to ICD-9 CM unless there is an overwhelming need.
