What is the ICD-10 code?

The International Classification of Diseases, 10thRevision (ICD-10), is a set of agreed upon diagnosis codes developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as part of its Family of International Classifications. This system provides a robust coding system for classifying diagnoses and other clinical concepts. The previous iteration, the International Classification of Diseases, 9thRevision (ICD-9), was developed by the WHO in 1975. Soon after, the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) applied the WHO’s system to classify diseases and morbidities in the inpatient hospital setting, creating the ICD-9 Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM), comprising approximately 14,000 different diagnosis codes (1). An additional classification for procedures (not part of the WHO system) was added as Volume 3 of ICD-9-CM, comprising approximately 4,000 procedure codes. This system was adopted by most payers in the United States for managing provider payments, at the behest of the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), which required it in documentation of diagnosis and procedures for billing purposes in 1989. The HCFA was renamed to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in 2001, and ICD-9-CM was adopted as a required code set for covered entities under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) transaction standards.

When was the ICd 10-CM developed?

The ICD-10 Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM), developed by the NCHS in 2002, contains approximately 68,000 diagnosis codes (2). The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS), built by HCFA and 3M Health Information Systems and initially released in 1998, encompasses nearly 73,000 procedure codes (3). After several delays, CMS finally required providers and payers to transition to ICD-10-CM/PCS on October 1st, 2015, 22 years after the WHO first published the 10threvision.

Why do ICD-10 codes need to be paired with ICD-10-CM?

While ICD-10-PCS will be highly pertinent for clinicians analyzing surgical outcomes, these coding data will often need to be paired with ICD-10-CM diagnosis data because of the lack of disease-specific information in the new procedural codes. ICD-10-PCS procedure codes are agnostic to the underlying disease process associated with the procedure. A thoracotomy can be performed for a myriad of reasons such as diagnosis, therapy for a benign process, therapy for a cancer process or palliation. It therefore becomes vital to use more involved logic based on the ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes when a specific patient cohort is desired, such as those undergoing therapeutic lobectomy for lung cancer. Unfortunately, the ICD-10-CM codes for neoplasms are non-specific for cancer staging information or histology, so users will have to obtain more detailed oncologic characteristics from other data sources.
