ICD-10 Medical Diagnosis Code Gives Americans 70000 Official Ways To Get Sick, Hurt or Die



ICD-10 Medical Diagnosis Code Gives Americans 70000 Official Ways To Get Sick, Hurt or Die

Specific Changes to Diagnosis Code Reporting: ICD-10-CM

How does the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code set differ from the ICD-9-CM?

  • The code set has been expanded from five positions (first one alphanumeric, others numeric) to seven positions. The codes use alphanumeric characters in all positions, not just the first position as in ICD-9.
  • As of the latest version, there are 68,000 existing codes, as opposed to the 13,000 in ICD-9.
  • The new code set provides a significant increase in the specificity of the reporting, allowing more information to be conveyed in a code.
  • The terminology has been modernized and has been made consistent throughout the code set.
  • There are codes that are a combination of diagnoses and symptoms, so that fewer codes need to be reported to fully describe a condition.
