invalid
revised

Explanation:

Identify the role of CMS and NCHS in coding updates

Using the CMS Role and Medical Coding Updates knowledge points, we analyze how official medical code sets (such as ICD-10-CM) are updated and published. The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) are responsible for maintaining and publishing official updates to these code sets.

Analyze the types of code updates published

When official updates are released on these agency websites, they typically categorize the changes to help coding professionals update their systems. These updates include:

• Major new codes that have been added to the classification system.
• Revised codes where the description, guidelines, or tabular instructions have been modified.
• Invalid (or deleted) codes that are no longer active or acceptable for billing purposes.

"Valid" is a general status of a code rather than a specific category of updated/posted changes on the update lists. The official update tables specifically list new, revised, and deleted/invalid codes.

Answer:

• Valid
• Major new (Correct answer)
• Invalid (Correct answer)
• Revised (Correct answer)
