We think it bears repeating that effective October 1, 2015, the Division is making the transition from
ICD-9 to ICD-10. The Division has a video to help participants with this transition at:
www.tdi.texas.gov/wc/hcprovider/icd10.html. As we mentioned in July, the Division has not
provided guidance on how carriers should process bills submitted with ICD-9 codes for dates of
service after 10-1-15 and has not provided any guidance to stakeholders regarding many issues that
are expected to arise. Hopefully we can update you in September. It could be quite a mess.
