Just to note that:
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome does not appear to be included in the WHO's ICD-10 Version for 2010 (the version of ICD-10 that is used in the UK and over a hundred other countries):
http://apps.who.int/classifications/icd10/browse/2010/en
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome is included in the Beta draft for ICD-11:
http://apps.who.int/classifications/icd11/browse/l-m/en#/http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1533647472
The 2015 Release for the forthcoming U.S. specific ICD-10-CM was posted recently and can be downloaded from the Zip files on this page but POTS does not appear to be included in either the Tabular List or the Index:
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/icd/icd10cm.htm#icd2015
(Due to the signing into law of the PAM Act, on April 1, 2014, implementation for the U.S.'s ICD-10-CM was delayed. Implementation is now expected on October 1, 2015. The partial code freeze has been extended to October 1, 2016.)
I haven't checked Canada's ICD-10-CA or Germany's ICD-10-GM; Australia's ICD-10-AM is not available online.
