the American Medical Association began co-publishing their ICD-9
guides with Saunders. As you review publication dates, please keep in mind that any titles
not-yet-published can be conveniently pre-ordered here so that you
can easily plan ahead. Please remember: 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 CPT and HCPCS code revisions become effective January
1st. In order for you to meet this requirement, you must have the
revised CPT, 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.
