April ICD-10-CM code update now available

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has added an April ICD-10-CM code update that will be effective with dates of service on or after April 1, 2020. This update contains diagnosis (CM) code U07.0, vaping-related disorder, and U07.1, COVID-19.

Additional information about COVID-19 coding
As we communicated through web-DENIS on March 19, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has provided interim coding guidance on the ICD-10-CM Official Coding Guidelines for encounters related to the COVID-19 outbreak.

You can use the ICD-10-CM Official Coding Guidelines Supplement** for information about coding encounters related to COVID-19 diagnosis or exposure. The supplement provides clarification on how to use current ICD-10-CM codes for COVID-19 to ensure uniform coding practices.

You can find the latest information about COVID-19 on our Coronavirus information updates for providers page, which is available on BCBSM Newsletters and Resources or BCN Provider Publications and Resources on web-DENIS. (You'll be prompted to log in to access the page.) You may want to check back frequently for updates.

For more information about ICD-10-CM code updates, visit the ICD-10 section of the CMS website.**
