The entire coding system is going to shift from the current ICD-9-CM codes to ICD-10-CM codes. On October 13, 2013, ICD-10 will replace ICD-9 as the HIPAA adopted codes sets for diagnoses and procedures. The current ICD-9 system lacks room for the new codes – ICD-10 will allow for greater coding specificity and provide better data for record-keeping purposes.
