Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00 -Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
Z87.19 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z87.19 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z87.19 - other international versions of ICD-10 Z87.19 may differ. Z codes represent reasons for encounters.
Neuroradiologists might be surprised to learn that work on ICD-10 began >30 years ago. Historically, updates occurred approximately once per decade. The initial effort on ICD-10 concluded in 1992. The ICD-10-CM was then introduced for its annual process of review in 1992.

A Zenker's diverticulum, also pharyngoesophageal diverticulum, also pharyngeal pouch, also hypopharyngeal diverticulum, is a diverticulum of the mucosa of the pharynx, just above the cricopharyngeal muscle (i.e. above the upper sphincter of the esophagus).
K22.5 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of diverticulum of esophagus, acquired. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Neuroradiologists might be surprised to learn that work on ICD-10 began >30 years ago. Historically, updates occurred approximately once per decade. The initial effort on ICD-10 concluded in 1992. The ICD-10-CM was then introduced for its annual process of review in 1992. ICD-10 is much more granular than ICD-9, with an expansion from 17,000 codes to approximately 155,000. US-based providers might be further surprised to find out that many other countries transitioned to some form of ICD-10 many years ago. For example, Canada introduced a modified system, ICD-10-CA, in 2000. The international version of ICD-10 is used in >100 countries for cause-of-death reporting and statistics. In 2003, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 named ICD-9 as the code set for reporting diagnoses and procedures in electronic administrative transactions. 6 On January 16, 2009, the US Department of Health and Human Services published a regulation requiring the replacement of ICD-9 with ICD-10 as of October 1, 2013.
Some scholars track the origin of ICD to 1763. The French physician and botanist Dr François Bossier de Sauvages de Lacroix developed a categorization of 10 distinct classes of diseases, which were further divided into 2400 unique diseases. 1 Sauvages de Lacroix was a contemporary and friend of the Swedish naturalist Carl Von Linné, considered the father of modern taxonomy. His classification system, built on earlier work by the English physician Thomas Sydenham, was similar to methods used by botanists at the time. Recognizing the importance of disease classification, the first International Statistical Congress held in Brussels in 1853 appointed Jacob Marc d'Espine and William Farr to develop a system of classifying causes of mortality that could be used across borders and languages. 2 This was the genesis of what became known as the “International List of Causes of Death.” History will prove the sagacity of these early thought leaders. In 1893, Jacques Bertillon, a Parisian statistician, and his committee established the first “International List of Causes of Death.” 3 At around that time, the “International List of Causes of Death” was presented in the United States at the International Statistical Institute, and in 1898, various countries in North America, including the United States, adopted this system. 4 Across time, this “International List of Causes of Death” was updated and published about once per decade in 1900, 1910, 1920, 1929, and 1938. 5

ICD-10-CM uses the same basic hierarchical structure as ICD-9-CM. The first 3 digits represent common traits, with each subsequent character providing greater specificity. ICD-10-CM is alphanumeric, with a possible 7 digits of specificity as opposed to the 5 digits of the ICD-9. An oddity is that the letter U is the only letter not used. 7 Other noteworthy changes include the addition of information relevant to ambulatory and managed care and greatly expanded injury codes that reflect the site of injury. Given the dramatic changes occurring within organized medicine in 2013, some authors called for a delay in the implementation of ICD-10 from the original planned date of October 1, 2013. 8 This idea gained greater traction when the American Medical Association formally adopted a policy that favored delaying implementation. 8, 9 The original implementation date was extended by the Department of the Health and Human Services in the latter half of 2012 to October 1, 2014. 10 There was continued discomfort regarding implementation of ICD-10 by the 2014 date. The Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 was primarily considered in the context of providing a temporary patch for the sustainable growth rate. 11, 12 Embedded within that legislation was a further delay in the implementation of ICD-10 until October 1, 2015. 12 Finally October 1, 2015, was the date that ICD-10-CM went live in the United States.
The International Classification of Disease (IC D) system was created for the accurate tracking of diseases within a population. Across the years, it has become an integral part of the payment infrastructure of the US health care system along with the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) coding system for medical procedures. As our knowledge of disease advances and the US health care system payment policy evolves from volume to value, so must the ICD system. Now that ICD-10 is finally implemented after 2 congressionally legislated delays, the physician community remains wary of potential upheaval related to complex changes required for billing systems. We believe a review of the history of the International Classification of Disease system will be useful to the practicing neuroradiologist.
ICD-10-CM has been noteworthy for the controversy that has surrounded its implementation. It is a far more granular system than its predecessor, allowing better disease tracking, but this granularity also leads to physician anxiety in the context of payment policy. The transition to ICD-10-CM is inconsistently supported by payers and has been hampered by other regulatory requirements related to the Affordable Care Act to which providers are subject.
In what could be called a parallel effort, the United States Public Health Service adapted the ICD to index hospital records and classify surgical procedures (ICDA) and published this system in 1962.
