With the implementation of the 5010 837I transaction in January 2011, the
number of ICD-9-CM diagnosis and procedure codes are being expanded from 9 and 6 to 25 and 25. This will
require changes to the Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS), Inpatient Psychiatric Facility (IPF) PPS
and the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Pricers and the Fiscal Intermediary Standard System (FISS) interface to
these Pricers. In addition, the FISS interface to the Grouper and MCE will be changed.
