This includes classifications of Hypoglycemia and then Code Also Notes to use these as additional codes when coding certain Diabetes codes. There are also new codes for presymptomatic Type 1 diabetes mellitus that indicate staging to learn about. There is new Use Additional Code notation for malignant neoplasms of the breast along with new codes in the Estrogen Receptor Status section. New codes in the unspecified synovitis and tenosynovitis in several extremities should help in identifying this disorder. Clarifications in the Code First and Code Also listings for Pneumonia codes ask for additional information not previously required. New SDOH codes for insufficient health insurance coverage expand this section. Overall, for 2025 there are new codes that you should be aware of.
