The invalid codes are the ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes that are invalid after September 30th, 2009. These codes must be at a higher level of specificity to be valid codes as of October 1, 2009
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.
The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (most commonly known by the abbreviation ICD) provides codes to classify diseases and a wide variety of signs, symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances and external causes of injury or disease. Every health condition can be assigned to a unique category and given a code, up to six characters long. Such categories can include a set of similar diseases.
