The ICD contains tons of codes pertaining to disorders, injuries, diseases, and other health conditions which are presented in a hierarchical and comprehensive way.
One of the biggest challenges of the transition from ICD 9 to ICD 10 involves the crosswalking between the two code sets, incorporating numerous codes. Crosswalk is the process of translating or mapping a particular code from one code set to a code or multiple codes from another code set. More and more work has been done on crosswalking to make the task of transitioning to ICD 10 easier for medical billers and coders.
In contrast to the ICD-9 code for psoriasis which is 696.1, the ICD 10 code for the condition describes it in more specificity. In ICD-9, there was only one code representing psoriasis i.e. 696.1, whereas there are multiple ICD-10 codes that correspond to the various subtypes that fall under the category L40. The L defines that this is the primary category for diseases of the skin and tissue. While the next two digits 40 define psoriasis.

In 2008, CMS announced that the US will be adopting the ICD 10, which many countries had already adopted since its inception in the 90s. However, the health system was hurdled by political and technical issues, due to which it was not until 2015 that the ICD 10 was officially enforced all over the country.
Where the psoriasis ICD 9 had a single code to identify all cases of psoriasis, the ICD 10 delves into more details and includes separate codes for each of the types of psoriasis.

The code can only be used for claims which have a date of service before 30 September 2015.
