Basic ICD-10 INFORMATION

World Health Organization (WHO) authorized the publication of the International Classification of DiseasesExternal 10th Revision (ICD-10), which was implemented for mortality coding and classification from death certificates in the U.S. in 1999. The U.S. developed a Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) for medical diagnoses based on WHO’s ICD-10.  This medical classification list is generated by the World Health Organization (WHO), and is used to help healthcare providers identify and code health conditions.

ICD-10 is required for use by physicians and healthcare providers under the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) and will replace all ICD-9 code sets. There are nearly 5 times as many diagnosis codes in ICD-10-CM than in ICD-9-CM.ICD-10 has alphanumeric categories instead of numeric ones.
