The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) is the official system to assign health care codes describing diagnoses and procedures in the United States (U.S). The ICD is also used to code and classify mortality data from death certificates.
ICD-10 was implemented on October 1, 2015, replacing the 9th revision of ICD (ICD-9).
An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together , such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition .
The ICD-10-CM has two types of excludes notes. Each note has a different definition for use but they are both similar in that they indicate that codes excluded from each other are independent of each other.
For codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character a placeholder X should be assigned for all characters less than 6. The 7th character must always be the 7th character of a code.
SLPs practic ing in a health care setting, especially a hospital, may have to code disease s and diagnoses according to the ICD-10. Payers, including Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurers, also require SLPs to report ICD-10 codes on health care claims for payment.
