HHS Releases ICD-10 Codes

HHS has released two final rules that it said will facilitate
the nation’s transition to an electronic health care environment.
The first final rule replaces the ICD-9 code sets with greatly
expanded ICD-10 codes. The compliance date is Oct. 1, 2013. The
second final rule adopts an updated standard for certain electronic
health care and pharmacy transactions. View a PDF of the
