I had understood that the proposed ICD 10-CM, like the current ICD 9-CM, is
for diagnoses of visits ("clinical modification"), but that the current ICD
10, like the old ICD 9, are mortality codes. Best I understand, while there
is a June 2003 draft of ICD 10-CM, there is no official schedule for when it
is expected to be finished. (
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/about/otheract/icd9/abticd10.htm . Anyone have
better info on this?) Or am I missing something?
