Frequently Asked Questions

No. All official answers will continue to be provided in writing and e-mailed to your organization.

You may submit up to three questions per one login session. Each question and related materials must be submitted separately in order to be assigned a unique tracking number and receive a response. 

Include documents that provide context to the question being submitted. Do not submit any document that contains Personal Health Information (PHI), physician name(s) or hospital name(s). Any question submission or related document that includes PHI, physician names, or hospital names will immediately be rejected. The question will not be accepted or answered. 

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.
