ICD-9 Codes . While phased out in 2015, you will still see ICD-9 codes on older documents. Most ICD-9 codes are three digits to the left of a decimal point and one or two digits to the right of one. For example: 250.0 is diabetes with no complications. 530.81 is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
To review: the first digit of an ICD-10-CM code is always an alpha, the second digit is always numeric, and digits three through seven may be alpha or numeric. Here’s a simplified look at ICD-10-CM’s format. The ICD-10-CM code manual is divided into three volumes. Volume I is the tabular index. Volume II is, again, the alphabetic index.
