    "Because there is no HIPAA requirement that insurance companies also accept DSM-IV-TR codes, insurance companies are likely to only accept electronic claims that use ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes, and which will require psychologists who are only familiar with DSM-IV-TR to convert their DSM-IVTR diagnosis codes into ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes."
