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.
You can view the slideshow online, or download the Power Point and PDF by clicking on the play button on the image below.

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.
