Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas, Texas was recently chosen by the Texas Department of Transportation (DOT) to receive roadway signs at the north and south Walnut Hill exit ramps on U.S. Interstate 35.

Each year, ICD-10-CM is updated on Oct. 1. For 2026, there are 74,179 total codes, with 487 additions, 28 deletions and 38 revisions. Code changes are based on date of service, not the claim submission date. Services performed on/after Oct. 1 must use the new codes. While no changes affect the common spinal or extraspinal codes most frequently used by DCs, several updates may still affect your claims – particularly for comorbidities, referred pain, or trauma cases.
