For every new year, there are updated codes for the International Classification of Diseases, Volume 9.For 2008, there are 591 Classification of Diseases.Unlike the 2007 volume 9 changes and additions to pain and compartment syndromes, the 2008 updates have virtually no impact on the chiropractic profession, as there are no meaningful changes to pain or neuromusculoskeletal conditions.
The 2008 changes update muscular dystrophy and other myopathies, avian influenza, jaw necrosis, dysphagia, family history of heart disease and myocardial infarction, multiple endocrine neoplasm syndrome,other endocrine and metabolic diseases, dual sensory impairment, disability examinations, medical certificates, and exposure to harmful toxins and algae.
If you have a 2007 edition of the volume 9,my general recommendation is there is no need for a new purchase if solely for the changes in 2008. However, should you only have a 2006 version, it's time to update because the 2007 changes were applicable to chiropractic.
