ICD-10

The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has mandated the replacement of the ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes and ICD-9-PCS procedure codes used by medical coders and billers to report health care diagnoses and inpatient procedures. Effective October 1, 2013, all ICD-9 code sets will be replaced by ICD-10 code sets. ICD-10 implementation will radically change the way coding is currently done and will
require a significant effort to implement. Both the provider and payer community will be effected.
