Nan - thanks for the information. But I'm a little confused. The document I found was titled "2010 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Codes" (http://www.asha.org/uploadedFiles/2010ICD9Codes.pdf and I assume that's what you're referring to when you write "The two links you post are good summaries of the changes, so I WOULD RECOMMEND PEOPLE LOOK AT THESE LINKS TO SEE THE CHANGES." But this document does not include the new 315 code or the two new codes for neurogenic stuttering. Am I looking at the right document? Also - and of more direct interest to us consumers of speech therapy - do you anticipate that this ICD revision, or the anticipated DSM revisions, are likely to result in any increase in insurance coverage? Particularly, I would think that such a change could result from an acceptance that most stuttering is fundamentally neurologically based, replacing the old belief in the "neurotic" causes of stuttering. Thanks.
