2010 ICD-9 Book Published

November 9, 2009

The 2010 ICD-9 book a pdf file was recently published. In an initial review of 2010 book, the ACR’s certified professional coders noted changes to some of the common rheumatology diagnosis codes which could affect your coding and billing. As a reminder, ICD-9 code changes are effective October 1 (instead of January 1 – like CPT codes) so please remember to adjust all of your charge slips and super bills.
