<h2>New 2011 ICD-9 Codes</h2>
<p>In the "New" <acronym title="International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems">ICD</acronym> 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 <em>persons with potential health hazards related to personal and family history(V10-V19).88</em>.  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.</p>

<p>Each year, BDA provides tools to assist physicians and organizations with the ICD-9 code changes.  <strong>We've put together a Power Point presentation that goes over these new 2011 ICD9 changes for you.

If you neglect to update your existing billing software with the new updates, it could delay claims which then could result in delayed payments.
