New ICD-10-CM code for
Post-COVID Conditions,
following the 2019 Novel
Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Effective: October 1, 2021
In March 2020 the Novel Coronavirus Disease, COVID-19, was declared a pandemic by the
World Health Organization. A national emergency was declared in the U.S. on in 2020 and
remains in place, with the most recent renewal at the time of this announcement on October 15,
2021. Initially attention was focused on diagnosing and managing the acute disease, but it has
become clear that illness can persist or recur following the acute phase. These conditions are
referred to as post-COVID conditions by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Given this development there is an ongoing and urgent need to capture more information about
these conditions in our surveillance data and the nation's health care claims. The Centers for
Disease Control (CDC), under the National Emergencies Act Section 201 and 301, is announcing
further additions to ICD-10-CM Classification related to COVID-19, that have become effective
October 1, 2021.
As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 public health emergency, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention¡¯s National Center for Health Statistics (CDC/NCHS) has implemented an additional code
into the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM)
for reporting:
? Post COVID-19 condition, unspecified (U09.9)
This new code became effective October 1, 2021 to identify conditions following acute COVID-19.
The code should be used for patients with a history of probable or confirmed SARS CoV-2 infection
who are identified with a post-COVID condition. In addition, assign code(s) for specific conditions
and/or symptoms identified. Full addenda information regarding this new code, along with other
codes and code titles is available.
ICD-10-CM coding guidance can be found at .
