Revised ICD-10-CM codes for 2019, released by the National Center for Health Statistics, took effect October 1, 2018.  A handful of these changes pertain to mental disorders, and thus affect the coding of DSM-5 disorders. A crosswalk between the new ICD codes and DSM-5 codes is posted on the APA website in a printable format that can be used for easy reference.

DSM-5 contains all of the information needed to assign ICD-10-CM codes to patient diagnoses.  Use ICD-10 to:

• Generate claims
• Perform eligibility and benefits verification
• Schedule office visits
• Schedule outpatient procedures
• Submit quality data
• Update patient history and problems
• Code patient encounters
