Session 1: ICD-10-CM Updates for 2025
Pre-recorded Webinar (Instant Access)
Speaker: Jill M. Young
Duration: 60 minutes
Webinar Description
Each year the ICD-10-C Coordination and Maintenance Committee meets twice to consider requests for new codes and clarifications of existing ones. For 2025 the Committee has approved several codes of significance. This includes classifications of Hypoglycemia and then Code Also Notes to use these as additional codes when coding certain Diabetes codes. There are also new codes for presymptomatic Type 1 diabetes mellitus that indicate staging to learn about. There is new Use Additional Code notation for malignant neoplasms of the breast along with new codes in the Estrogen Receptor Status section. New codes in the unspecified synovitis and tenosynovitis in several extremities should help in identifying this disorder. Clarifications in the Code First and Code Also listings for Pneumonia codes ask for additional information not previously required. New SDOH codes for insufficient health insurance coverage expand this section. Overall, for 2025 there are new codes that you should be aware of. Just as important are the sub code notations seeking clarifications that a coder should know of and pass along to their providers to have the specificity in coding required by the ICD-10-CM codes.
Webinar Objectives
The webinar will go through all the major changes to codes. It will also present the new codes with explanations of who requested the code, how it should be used and some limited clinical information on it.
Additions and changes to the coding guidelines are also a part of the webinar. These details are almost as important as new codes in that they show the use just how a specific code should be assigned and any additional information that is required or needed.
