Hello Marisela,

You can find some detailed information about this at www.cdc.gov/nchs/about/otheract/icd9/abticd10.htm.

The codes in ICD-10-CM are not currently valid for any purpose or use. There is not yet an anticipated implementation date for the ICD-10-CM. Implementation will be based on the process for adoption of standard under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.
