What has happened to this code
Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
- FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Unspecified slipped upper femoral epiphysis (nontraumatic)
