Section III of the DSM-5 contains assessment tools to assist you in making accurate diagnoses.  DSM-5 contains both ICD-9-CM codes for immediate use and ICD-10-CM codes in parentheses. The inclusion of ICD-10CM codes facilitates a cross-walk to the new coding system that will be implemented on October 1, 2014 for all U.S. health care providers and systems, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics (CDC-NCHS) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Once the DSM-5’s official start date is announced, most insurances will require mental health professionals to revise their clients’ diagnosis as needed to reflect the DSM-5 numbering system and current diagnostic language. Some screening instruments will no longer be valid if the scoring outcomes use outdated diagnostic language and measures. You may need to revise your forms - both hard copy and electronic. Consider taking a course to learn how to use the DSM-5. The DSM-5 is already available in hard back, paperback and electronically. There is also a mobile application. The website printed on the other side of this pamphlet contain valuable and up-to-date information. Check with your payment sources, e.g., Victim’s Compensation, private insurance companies, Medicare, and Medicaid to learn their DSM-5 requirements.
