Hello All,
Has the ICD-9 database been updated yet? This is a major inconvenience as I bill patients directly and provide them with the printed HCFA 1500 form for them to submit to their insurance.
These forms are being returned to me by the insurance company stating that I've coded the diagnoses incorrectly. Upon looking in the ICD-9 book, I see they are correct and that the AC codes are no longer valid.
Anyone else getting caught in this delay?
