ICD-10 Overview

ICD-10 replaces the current ICD-9 coding for the classification of disease or health condition, symptoms, and causes, used by hospitals, providers, and others, and is required to be implemented for outpatient dates of service or inpatient dates of discharge. Current law states effective 10/1/2013 and after; however per communication below there is a proposed delay to make this effective 10/1/2014 (as this decision is finalized confirmation will be posted to this webpage). It is AHCCCS intent to implement fully integrated "native" processing of ICD10 code sets and fully review and remediate all impacted policies, rules and processes.
