The 2022 ICD-10-CM Expert for Hospitals, with early delivery, uses our hallmark features and
format, making the challenge of accurate diagnosis coding easier for acute care and long-term
care hospitals (LTCH). This code book contains the complete ICD-10-CM code set, MCEs, and
ICD-10 MS-DRG edits with symbols identifying codes for comorbidities/complications (CC) and
major comorbidities/complications (MCC). Also identified are hospital acquired conditions (HAC)
and CMS hierarchical condition categories (HCC).
Guaranteed delivery before October 1, 2021. The timing of CMS release of the Official
Guidelines for Coding and Reporting might not allow for early delivery. Therefore, this early
delivery version might contain the 2021 guidelines. A booklet containing the Official Guidelines
for Coding and Reporting for 2022 will be shipped separately, if the 2022 guidelines are not
available at the time this edition goes to press.
