What is an ICD-10 (diagnosis) code?
The International Classification of Disease tenth revision (ICD-10) is a system of coding created by the World Health Organization that notes various medical records including diseases, symptoms, abnormal findings and external causes of injury. All U.S. healthcare providers are required to use this coding system. On October 1st, 2015, the healthcare industry transitioned from ICD-9 to ICD-10. The new standard provides clearer explanation across the healthcare industry in regards to patient diagnosis. ICD-10’s specificity increases the available codes to include over 68,000 codes to choose from.
