There are also many revisions to the language that ICD-9 codes use to describe conditions. Without updating the language to ICD-9 codes, a code could be selected improperly causing an incorrect code to be used.
The New, Revised and Invalid ICD-9 codes take effect October 1, 2009. Each year, BDA provides tools to assist physicians and organizations with the ICD-9 code changes. We’ve put together a Power Point presentation that goes over these changes for you. Neglecting to update your ICD-9 codes annually could delay claims and payments. Take advantage of these resources now so the ICD-9 changes will cause no delay in your payment for services.

Try this: ICD-9-CM Guidelines were created on 08/31/2009 and are effective as of 10/01/2009. An ICD-9-CM Code Conversion Table table for diagnostic and procedural code changes between 1986-2009 is provided to assist users in data retrieval. The table shows the date the new code became effective and its previously assigned code equivalent.
Also try: New ICD9 Codes
I am in process of taking CCA exam, and I know 2010 new codes and guidelines are active. I think this is what I need to be on point for the Certified Coding Associate Exam. I will be taking it by the end of April.
I was told by my teacher to access the web site of CMS, and research the topic ICD-9-CM to locate the ICD-9CM Provider ans Diagnostic Codes Overview home page. and find a listing of the current year’s new, revised, or deleted ICD-9-CM codes which is called the Addenda, and to locate five new codes in the Tabular Addenda.
