However, the CDC typically releases updates to the ICD-10-CM codes every year, which include new codes, revisions, and deletions. These updates are usually announced in the fall, and the new codes become effective on October 1st of the following year.
It is important for healthcare providers and medical coders to stay up-to-date with the latest coding changes to ensure accurate documentation, billing, and reimbursement. They can access the latest coding guidelines and updates on the CDC website, as well as attend coding workshops and webinars to stay informed.
