Next Meeting of the ICD-9-CM Coordination and Maintenance Committee
The next meeting of the ICD-9-CM Coordination and Maintenance Committee is announced for September 19, 2012 and a tentative agenda issued. The Committee is co-chaired by CMS and CDC.
ICD-10-CM is a US specific modification of the WHO’s ICD-10 and not yet implemented. (When ICD-10-CM has been implemented, the Committee will be known as the ICD-10-CM Coordination and Maintenance Committee.)
The current proposal for the compliance date for some entities for adoption of ICD-10-CM is that the deadline be delayed for a further year, from October 1, 2013 to October 1, 2014, to allow more time for US clinical practices and the healthcare industry to prepare for transition from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM. The public comment period on this proposal closed in June and a final rule for compliance has yet to be announced.
Coding of Chronic fatigue syndrome within the forthcoming ICD-10-CM
Discussion of the location of Chronic fatigue syndrome in ICD-10-CM is tabled on the tentative agenda for the September 19 meeting.
At the September 14, 2011 meeting of the ICD-9-CM Coordination and Maintenance Committee, a presentation was made on behalf of the Coalition 4 ME/CFS.
A proposal had been submitted by the Coalition that consideration be given to moving the classification of Chronic fatigue syndrome from the R code chapter (Symptoms and signs) of ICD-10-CM to the G code chapter (Diseases of the nervous system).
This would bring the chapter location and parent class coding of Chronic fatigue syndrome in line with ICD-10 and the Canadian ICD-10-CA.
Proposals for the forthcoming ICD-11 have Chronic fatigue syndrome, Postviral fatigue syndrome and ME classified under the G codes, within Chapter 6 Diseases of the nervous system, with Chronic fatigue syndrome designated as an ICD-11 Title term and ME specified as an Inclusion term to Chronic fatigue syndrome.
Various suggestions were discussed at the meeting as to how the three terms should be coded if Chronic fatigue syndrome were moved to the G codes chapter. No decision has been conveyed following closure of the public comment period for the meeting.
Further discussion of the location of Chronic fatigue syndrome in ICD-10-CM has been tabled on the tentative agenda for the September 19, 2012 meeting. I will post Summary documents and other relevant meeting materials as these become available.
There are three posts on Dx Revision Watch that relate to the Coalition’s presentation at the September 14, 2011 meeting:
