Has anyone found a copy of the Coding Guidelines for 2012? Will there be one or only an addenda to 2011?

Thanks,

    I saw those. Something in the cobwebs of my mind recalls no changes till 2014. But I had heard rumors of an addendum to 2012.

    If I find anything I will post.

    Thanks!

    So I'm thinking no further changes to the "ICD 9 CM Official Coding Guidelines for Coding and Reporting" for 2012, correct? (Guidelines not coding)
