-**I would like to comment that putting AIDS diagnostic code in the category of infection is inappropriate.  I had difficulty finding it as I was looking under immunological problems in "other medical" which would be the expected place to find this.  It is almost as bad as putting mastectomy under GI/GU OR which is where it is.  Would anyone think to find it there??  I think our codes should be reorganized under their appropriate category.  I even made a list of these inappropriately categorized codes about a year ago.  Would it be too difficult to do this??--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 09:46, 14 January 2010 (CST)
