Attention: Codes deleted from ICD-10

ATTENTION!

Please Read!

Thirty-nine codes were deleted from the 2022 ICD-10 code set effective October 1, 2021.

Three of these 39 codes are billed by PCPs quite frequently:

M54.5 (low back pain)

R05 (cough)

R63.3 (feeding difficulties)

POET has been told, “Cigna Medicare is denying the whole claim as “inappropriate diagnosis code” when billed with one of these deleted codes. “
