Fed Regist. 2008 Aug 22;73(164):49795-832.
This proposed rule would modify two of the medical data code set standards adopted in the Transactions and Code Sets final rule published in the Federal Register. It would also implement certain provisions of the Administrative Simplification subtitle of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996. Specifically, the proposed rule would modify the standard code sets for coding diagnoses and inpatient hospital procedures by concurrently adopting the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) for diagnosis coding, and the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) for inpatient hospital procedure coding. These new codes would replace the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9- CM) Volumes 1 and 2, and the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (CM) Volume 3 for diagnosis and procedure codes, respectively.
本拟议规则将修改在《联邦公报》上发布的《交易和代码集最终规则》中采用的两项医学数据代码集标准。它还将实施1996年《健康保险流通与责任法案》（HIPAA）行政简化副标题中的某些规定。具体而言，拟议规则将通过同时采用《国际疾病分类第十次修订本，临床修订版》（ICD-10-CM）进行诊断编码，以及《国际疾病分类第十次修订本，手术编码系统》（ICD-10-PCS）进行住院医院手术编码，来修改诊断和住院医院手术的标准代码集。这些新代码将分别取代《国际疾病分类第九次修订本，临床修订版》（ICD-9-CM）第1卷和第2卷，以及《国际疾病分类第九次修订本，临床修订版》（CM）第3卷用于诊断和手术编码。
