Will there be a code for EVALI? Or the use of e-cigarettes? Or one for the deadly coronavirus that the World Health Organization has now declared as a pandemic?
In light of the coronavirus outbreak, the ICD-10 Coordination and Maintenance Committee (C&M) meeting will be online only and convene Tuesday, March 17. The virtual meeting brings together representatives from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), various medical societies, medical device vendors, and the general public.
