ICD-10 updates take place annually on October 1, following the same timeline used for ICD-9 updates. Be sure to keep all your systems and coding tools updated.
Review the General Coding Guidelines on a regular basis. Separate official guidelines are available for:
- Diagnosis codes – 2016 ICD-10-CM
- Hospital inpatient procedures – 2016 ICD-10-PCS; 2017 ICD-10-PCS (effective Oct. 1, 2016)
If you’re looking for a simpler version to share with colleagues or as a reference, CMS has also released a companion infographic with high-level information from the Next Steps Toolkit.
