Looking at these links, my impression is that ICD-10 is easier than ICD-9, at least for basic codes. I am somewhat anxious, however, and feel like I am waiting for the other shoe to drop. If there are all those plethora of codes, why does this look simple? Could it be that "yes, you can use those codes, but no one will pay you for them unless you say the diabetic neuropathy involves the left leg below the ankle, including the large toe"?
