Frequently Asked Questions

Question Submission

All questions submitted are processed free of charge.

After more than 30 years of providing ICD-9-CM coding advice, the AHA Central Office has shifted its attention to ICD-10-CM/PCS and no longer accepts nor responds to requests for ICD-9-CM coding advice.

No. Please do not submit the same question more than one way or more than once. This will create a duplicate in the system and significantly delay the processing of the original question. 

Please e-mail codingclinic@aha.org to notify us of the issue. Please include the tracking number. Do not send the missing information via e-mail, nor resubmit the question. Both will significantly delay processing the question.

Subscription

A purchase code is a code provided when a person buys more than one seat for the Coding Clinic subscription. This will allow a person to purchase subscriptions for others, which can then be assigned and redeemed by other users at no cost using the code. The purchase code is good for however many seats you may have purchased. 

(Example: If you purchased 3 seats, the code may be used 2 times. One of the seats will automatically be given to the person purchasing.) If you have purchased a subscription for just yourself, no code is needed.
