305.992           Obsolete ICD and CPT Codes

The Medical Society of the State of New York (MSSNY) will seek legislation and regulation that would:

  • Provide a grace period where new ICD and CPT codes could be phased in, and
  • Prevent insurers from denying those portions of a claim coded with an obsolete or  superseded ICD or CPT code, and
  • Require that the period for ICD and CPT revisions are instituted be concurrent (e.g. January 1).

MSSNY will send this resolution to the AMA HOD.  (HOD 2020-261)
