About the Changes
The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), a federal agency within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), oversees the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10-CM) in the United States.
The Coordination and Maintenance Committee approves proposed changes to ICD-10-CM on a yearly basis, which are then disseminated to medical and mental health professionals.
Changes will be implemented for all health care practitioners and payers in the United States.
