		<description>I am a student at DeVry University.  My major is Health Information Technoloy. I am finishing a presentation on Medicare Inpatient Diagnosis in the state of Illinois.  I am glad to have come across this website for updates of the ICD-9 for the year 2010.  I found the this website to be very informative and I am using it as a reference in my presentation.  

Thank you
