	WPS Medicare Part B - Clinical Lab Coverage Determinations Take Effect Nationally
		The first list, "ICD-9-CM codes covered by Medicare," includes codes where there is a presumption of medical necessity, but the claim may be subject to review to determine whether the test was in fact reasonable and necessary.
		The third list, "ICD-9-CM codes that do not support medical necessity," includes diagnoses that generally are not covered for the test but for which there are limited exceptions.
		If a code from this section is given as the reason for the test, the test may be billed to the Medicare beneficiary by the lab without billing Medicare first.

	Attachment I: Development of ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS; Overview of ICD-9-CM
		The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), formerly the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), began developing a replacement to ICD-9-CM, Volume 3 in 1990 in order to address a number of limitations with the current procedure classification. ICD-9-CM procedure codes are made up of four digits.
		An updated pre-release draft of ICD-10-CM is posted on the NCHS web site at: http://cdc.gov/nchs/icd9.htm. The files, in PDF (Adobe) format include the tabular list, alphabetic index, the external cause of injury index and the Table of Neoplasms, as well as draft coding guidelines.
		There are only 10 codes available within each category (fourth digits 0-9).

	News & Announcements
		Like the ICD-9-CM system, this new coding system is closely related to its ICD counterpart (ICD-10).
		Because of the close relation of ICD-CM to the original ICD, it is important to note that these changes will become part of the ICD-10-CM.
		The United States National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) make it very clear that ICD and ICD-CM are two separate though closely related classification systems.

		As discussed below, the codes reported per ICD-10-CM chapter totaled 23, 122, but this figure may also be low.
		Almost 10 percent (7.9%) were records from post-acute settings, which encompassed home health or hospice, nursing homes, long term care hospitals, and rehabilitation units or facilities.
		Six percent (6%) of the coded records were from physician practices, with a small percentage of records from clinics, community health centers, freestanding ambulatory surgery centers, and freestanding diagnostic facilities (2.9%).

	Welcome to ICD-10 Corner!
		All codes in ICD-10-CM are alphanumeric, i.e., one letter followed by two numbers at the three-character level, as opposed to three numeric characters in the main classification of ICD-9-CM.
		Codes in ICD-10-PCS contain seven alphanumeric characters, and although there are thousands of possible codes, PCS distills all medical services into about 30 procedures.
		The index allows codes to be located alphabetically and is arranged by root operations with subentries by body system, body part, operation, and device.

		The current ICD-9-CM has been revised to incorporate changes in the medical field.
		In the United States ICD codes also have an active role in reporting of data from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations JCAHO but also the current public data on hospitals released by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid ServicesCMS.
		Commonly disputed by healthcare providers as billing code and not representative of true clinical outcomes, the ICD-9 transforms verbal descriptions of diseases, injuries, and procedures into numbers.

	ICD-10 to ICD9-CM conversion
		Formats for converting and grading ICD-10-CA to ICD-9-CM have been created and are stored on our system (see below for usage notes).
		Coding to the three character level also means that the 'kludge' used to get a match at the 5th and 6th digit are not used ; if substr(icd9,1,1) = 'E' then icd9 = substr(icd9,1,4) ; else icd9 = substr(icd9,1,3)
		When the converted ICD9 codes are used for mortality data it may be most appropriate to limit the data to the three or four character level in any case.

	Modelling ICD-10-AM
		Many countries use WHO ICD-10 diseases with ICD-9-CM procedures, some with ICPM translated or updated from its 1978 version.
		If ICD classifications were modelled, the relationships between terms and classes would be more explicit, and inform processes such as mapping, new classification development and creation of specialised subsets of classifications, not to mention extraction of clinical terms from electronic health records for multiple uses.
		The emphasis in ICD is on classification or data output and reporting of diseases for a myriad of reasons.
