APMA Submits Comments to the CDC on ICD-10-CM Improvements for Diabetic Foot Ulcers

APMA submitted comments to the National Center for Health Statistics at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding improvements to the ICD-10-CM coding system for diabetic foot ulcers. The comments support more accurate coding and documentation for diabetic foot ulcers to better reflect the care podiatric physicians provide. This advocacy arose from work the Wound Care Collaborative Community has done with support from APMA.
