Default V91.07xa

2015/16 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code V91.07XA - Burn due to water-skis on fire, initial encounter

One of 70,000 diagnostic codes in the new ICD-10 standard which went into effect today. As of today, doctors can no longer use the old ICD-9 standard, and have to know which one of the 70,000 new codes to use in correctly diagnosing patients.

Gotta love this one:

2015/16 ICD-10-CM Code Z63.1 - Problems in relationship with in-laws

Yes, starting today, your doctor can OFFICIALLY diagnose you with that ailment!
Is that covered by YOUR health insurance policy? I wonder what the treatment is????

Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by a sick mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end!

ICD-10 is both a laughing stock and a major pain for insurers, doctors, hospitals, etc. I know.

The US took the original design and added so much specificity, it is laughable.
