RE: ICD-10 vs ICD-9CM

[Polson, Noelle]

In the Transaction and Code Set Final Rule, page 50370, Subpart J - Code Sets 162.1002 it states that ICD-9-CM is the standard medical code set adopted by the Secretary.  This section of the rule goes into more detail as to which volumes to use for which conditions.  Hope this helps.   -----Original Message----- From: Pradeep Ittycheria [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 10:16 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ICD-10 vs ICD-9CM Can any one throw some light on which code set should be checked for (ICD-9CM or ICD-10) ? the references in the IG's do not seem to indicate any explicit preference.   Pradeep [EMAIL PROTECTED]   ********************************************************************** To be removed from this list, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please note that it may take up to 72 hours to process your request. ********************************************************************** To be removed from this list, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please note that it may take up to 72 hours to process your request.
