Dumb Ways to Die Parody: New ICD-10 Codes to Try!

Physicians and medical personnel across the country are gearing up for a major transition to the new ICD-10 diagnosis code set. Here at NueMD, we want to help make that transition easy and fun so we created a short musical parody video to highlight a few new diagnosis codes. Watch the video and see if you can guess which codes are represented.

"New ICD-10 Codes to Try" Lyrics

Take a spill out in the snow
Hand cramps while tying a bow
Drink eggnog that's out of date
Paper cuts from your presents cause you just can't wait

New codes to try, so many new codes to try
New codes to try, so many new codes to try

Get shocked by a string of lights
Soar throat from singing Silent Night
Burn your mouth on apple pie
A branch from your tree pokes you in the eye

New codes to try, so many new codes to try
New codes to try, so many new codes to try

Catch a cold riding on a train
Shopping gives you a huge migraine
Get your tongue stuck to a metal pole
Nothing hurts worse than a lump of coal

New codes to try, so many new codes to try
New codes to try, so many new codes to try

Lyrics:Take a spill out in the snow
Hand cramps while tying a bow
Drink eggnog that's out of date
Paper cuts from your presents cuz you just can't wait
New codes to try
So many new codes to try
New codes to tr-r-ry
So many new codes to try
Get shocked by a string of lights
Sore throat from singing silent nights
Burn your mouth on apple pie
A branch from your tree pokes you in the eye
New codes to try
So many new codes to try
New codes to tr-r-ry
So many new codes to try
Catch a cold riding on a train
Shopping gives you a huge migraine
Get your tongue stuck on a metal pole
Nothing hurts worse than a lump of coal
New codes to try
So many new codes to try
New codes to tr-r-ry
So many new codes to try
