Official sources of information

CMS provides access to the official ICD-10-CM code set and guidelines.

Next steps

These changes are now in effect and must be used on claims for all services delivered Oct.1, 2024 – Sept. 30, 2025. Look for the next update Oct. 1, 2025.

What are the key actions that provider practices should take?

  • Review changes in codes and guidelines for your range of practice
    Focus first on the codes you use most in your practice, then review changes for the others.
  • Adjust documentation as necessary
    Your documentation processes may need to be changed so that you have the information needed to use the new codes. Review how you document and revise as necessary.
  • Alert physicians
  • Train staff
    Make sure all staff involved in documentation, coding and billing are aware of these changes and adjust as necessary. Review the changes with them and note any processes that need to be updated.
  • Assure that software is up to date for these changes
    Check with your software vendors to ensure they have incorporated the new ICD-10-CM codes in your products. Test the products by entering the new codes and see if they work. If your software has not been updated, contact your vendor immediately to get the updates.
  • Review any instructions from health plans
    Individual health plans may have updated their coverage and billing guidelines to take these new codes into account.
  • Monitor for future changes
    Remember that there are coding changes every year, so keep up to date. There may be new codes issued during the year, as well as the major change each Oct. 1.

Frequently asked questions

Who has to use ICD-10 codes?

All health plans, clearinghouses, and providers who do electronic transactions must use ICD-10 codes to indicate diagnoses. Health plans are expected to require ICD-10 codes on paper transactions also. Note that workers’ compensation plans, auto insurance, and property and casualty plans are not subject to this federal requirement. Their requirements are set by each state. Some states are already requiring ICD-10 codes for these plans, while others are not.

If I don’t see Medicare patients, do I have to use ICD-10 codes?

Everyone covered by HIPAA must use ICD-10.

Do ICD-10 codes replace CPT procedure codes?

No. ICD-10 does not affect CPT coding for outpatient procedures. ICD-10 provides diagnosis codes.

Do I have to learn the whole code set?

No. You only need to understand that codes that are relevant to your practice. The ICD-10 code set is well organized so that your relevant codes are easy to find.

Where can I find the ICD-10 codes?

The ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS code sets and the ICD-10-CM official guidelines are available free of charge on the CMS website.

Where are the somatic dysfunction codes located in ICD-10?

The codes for somatic dysfunction are located in Chapter 13; Diseases of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue (M00 – M99).

What types of things will I need to include in my documentation?

You will need to include details such as laterality, severity, stage and specific type and order.  For specific conditions, requirements will vary; some examples for common conditions in family medicine include:

  • Asthma: intermittent, mild persistent, moderate persistent, severe persistent

  • Fractures: Gustilo classification, type of fracture

  • Seizures: General or focal, what type, intractability

  • Pregnancy: Which trimester

  • Poisoning or toxic effect: Which substance

  • Ulcers: Which stage
