COVID-19 letter template

During a meeting in early September, members of the ICD-10 Coordination and Maintenance Committee proposed creating new ICD-10-CM codes related to screening, exposure, and personal history for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The new codes, if finalized, will take effect in January 2021.

Comments on the proposed changes are due to the committee by October 9.

This template was developed by the ACDIS Regulatory Committee to express support for the new codes. Coders may download it and populate with their organization name and any other relevant comments, and then submit it via email  to nchsicd10CM@cdc.gov.
