Home Forums Discussions Coding and Billing 2012 ICD9 codes

I have discovered 3 DX codes that are not current for 2012, which became effective 10/1/11. I am still verifying if there are any more. Will AC's DX list be updated soon??? My doctors will be choosing wrong DX codes until this is updated. If I'm asking this in the wrong forum, please let me know where to go!! Help!! Thank you!!!

We are currently in the process of updating the icd9 codes. This will required a version update. In the meantime you may manually add any needed codes. This can be done from a patients summary page. There choose to add a code. in the bottom of the screen that pops up select add a code.

Happy Halloween

YIPPE!!~!!! Claire is back on the boards! That is fantastic!

What were the wrong codes those docs were using...I want to make sure I dont do the same...thanks

Plz make sure that the "Q" codes for the Medicare flu shots are included(Q2035 - Q2039). Thx.

Here are the current new ICD-9 codes effective 10/01/2011, so where there is a new code, there is often a code change or deletion immediately proximate to the new. The list is large, but it should be complete.

Yay! Thanks for the upcoming update! Any idea when the update will be ready? If it will happen soon, I will wait instead of adding codes in, one at a time.

The codes are 793.1X, 512.8X, and 173.7X These codes are on the list of new for 2012, which will be corrected when AC is finished updating. It's not that the codes are wrong, just need to add a 5th digit for the 2012, getting more specific, getting geared for ICD10.
