Please remember that the government no longer allows a grace period for annual code sets. The new HIPAA Transaction and Code Set Rule requires providers to use national medical code sets that are valid at the time that a service is provided. ICD-9-CM code revisions become effective October 1st each year while ICD-9-CM and HCPCS code revisions become effective January 1st. In order for you to meet this requirement, you must have the revised ICD-9-CM, HCPCS, and ICD-9-CM codes in your possession before the implementation dates. The best way to do this is to order your code books early. Review additional coding resources.
