'The name "chronic fatigue syndrome" is being phased out...'
I've asked Miriam Tucker if she will provide the source for this statement.
If the Medscape article's journalist is referring to the IOM Committee's Recommendations, it is my understanding that no federal agency has issued a statement of intention to adopt the Committee's proposed name
"systemic exertion intolerance disease (SEID)."
Additionally, since the IOM Committee's Report published, there have been four meetings of the
ICD-10-CM Coordination and Maintenance Committee (in March 2015, September 2015, March 2016, September 2016).
To date, no proposals have been submitted by any federal agency or by any other party via the
ICD-10-CM Coordination and Maintenance Committee proposal mechanism for the inclusion of the term
"systemic exertion intolerance disease" within ICD-10-CM, either coded as an inclusion term under an existing ICD code nor any proposal for the creation of a new code and chapter placement for any new term to replace
Chronic fatigue syndrome NOS under R53.82, or to replace either of the two terms under G93.3.
If I receive a clarification from Miriam for the source, I will update on what she based her statement on.
