Are you on top of the diagnosis code updates for 2026?
October 1st brings additions and deletions to the ICD-10 codes and although these are 2026 codes, the effective date is October 1st, 2025.
Code changes are based on date of service, not the claim submission date.
Services performed on and after October 1st must use the new codes.
While no changes affect the common spinal or extraspinal codes most frequently used by doctors of chiropractic, several updates may still affect your claims, particularly for comorbidities, referred pain, or trauma cases.
it is important to stay on top of the specific insurance rules by scheduling workshops or courses with H.J. Ross Company to update your team on billing rules and payer requirements.
There is a reason chiropractors have trusted H.J. Ross Company with their business for over 40 years.
