New 2011 ICD-9 Codes

In the "New" ICD category, there are several new codes that have been expanded from prior years. For example, there are six new codes in the Pneumonia and Influenza category (480-488). Three are related to the Avian influenza, while the remaining three are related to the Novel H1N1 influenza. There are eleven new "V-Codes" that refer to persons with potential health hazards related to personal and family history(V10-V19).88. In addition there are seven new codes relating to the Body Mass Index (BMI). The largest segment of new ICD codes is related to Multiple Gestation Placenta Status (V91) with a total of seventeen new codes.

* These diagnosis codes were discussed at the March 9-10, 2010 ICD-9-CM Coordination and Maintenance Committee meeting and were not finalized in time to include in the proposed rule. However, they will be implemented on October 1, 2010. Please note that new code 237.78, Other neurofibromatosis, that was listed as a new diagnosis code in the proposed rule has been modified to new code 237.79. New code 799.50, Unspecified signs and symptoms involving cognition, that was listed in the proposed rule as a new code has been deleted and will not be implemented on October 1, 2010.
