The Central Office is an official industry body that participates in the editorial development, preliminary testing, and national committee and congressional hearings on ICD-9 and ICD-10 specifications and rules. Central Office staff are the nation s experts on coding protocols and prepare two official publications in addition to the coding handbook: AHA Coding Clinic for ICD-9-CM and ICD-9-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting. The ICD-9-CM Coding Handbook helps coders understand the basic principles behind the classification system so they can apply the official coding advice provided by the Central Office publications. The Handbook has been used as the premiere coding textbook in the United States, and has been translated into several languages including Chinese, Italian and Spanish.
