hi
any suggestions on where I can get a list of valid 3 digit ICD-10 codes?

my ICD-9 book from Optum had a list for 9 codes but can't find ICD-10?

thanks

July 30th 2015 MLN E-news had a link to download 2016 valid codes

http://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Coding/ICD10/Downloads/2016-Code-Descriptions-in-Tabular-Order.zip

Import the file icd10cm_codes_2016.txt into excel or other spreadsheet program. Once you have code and description in different columns add a blank column and use the LEN function to determine how many characters are in the respective code and filter

There are 69,823 total codes for 2016 (that's every complete code)

I did a quick pivot table and found:

3 digit valid codes 229
4 digit valid codes 5466
5 digit valid codes 6169
6 digit valid codes 9250
7 digit valid codes 48709
