New in V30

The DRG definitions were finalized early this year, allowing us to ship products on September 28, 2012 instead of our usual target of the first week in October.

This is a quiet year for DRG version change. The only real DRG change we have to report is the addtion of two new HACs (see glossary), 13 and 14.

Probably also because of the impending switch from ICD9 to ICD10, there are no new or revised or deleted ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes for V30. There are also no revised or deleted ICD-9-CM procedure codes for V30 and only one new procedure code:

00.95    Injection or infusion of glucarpidase

For details, visit the CMS site:

Conversion from ICD9 codes for diagnoses and procedures to ICD10 codes is still coming, but it isn't here yet. We will continue to produce ICD10 versions of our products as an aid to cutting over.
