The following 72,752 ICD-10-CM codes are billable/specific and can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes as there are no codes with a greater level of specificity under each code. Displaying codes 1-100 of 72,752: A00.0 Cholera due to Vibrio cholerae 01, biovar cholerae. A00.1 Cholera due to Vibrio cholerae 01, biovar eltor. A00.9 Cholera, unspecified.
The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
ICD-10-PCS will be the official system of assigning codes to procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. ICD-10-PCS codes will support data collection, payment and electronic health records. ICD-10-PCS is a medical classification coding system for procedural codes.
ICD-10-PCS stands for the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System. As indicated by its name, ICD-10-PCS is a procedural classification system of medical codes. It is used in hospital settings to report inpatient procedures.
The ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification) is a system used by physicians and other healthcare providers to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms and procedures recorded in conjunction with hospital care in the United States.
CPT codes refer to the treatment being given, while ICD codes refer to the problem that the treatment is aiming to resolve. The two work hand-in-hand to quickly provide payors specific information about what service was performed (the CPT code) and why (the ICD code).
The principal procedure is one that is performed for definitive treatment rather than one performed for diagnostic or exploratory purposes, or was necessary to take care of a complication.

Summary. The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is a tool that assigns codes—a kind of medical shorthand—for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, circumstances, and external causes of diseases or injury.
In addition, it can provide medical billers with a listing of all forthcoming ICD-10 codes to include ICD-10-CM diagnoses and ICD-10-PCS procedure codes in preparation for mandatory hospital use in 2014. All inpatient facilities such as hospitals will be required to use both ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS code sets.
Another difference is the number of codes: ICD-10-CM has 68,000 codes, while ICD-10-PCS has 87,000 codes.
ICD-10-PCS has a 7 character alpha-numeric code structure that provides a unique code for all substantially different procedures, and allows new procedures to be incorporated as new codes. All procedures currently performed can be specified in ICD-10-PCS.
The Medical and Surgical section codes represent the vast majority of procedures reported in an inpatient setting. Medical and surgical procedure codes have a first character value of "0". The 2nd character indicates the general body system (e.g., gastrointestinal). The first through fifth characters are always assigned a specific value, ...
6 - Extracorporeal or Systemic Therapies. In extracorporeal therapy, equipment outside the body is used for a therapeutic purpose that does not involve the assistance or performance of a physiological function. Extracorporeal therapy procedure codes have a first character value of “6”.
3 - Administration. Administration section codes represent procedures for putting in or on a therapeutic, prophylactic, protective, diagnostic, nutritional or physiological substance. Administration procedure codes have a first character value of “3”.
Extracorporeal assistance and performance procedure codes have a first character value of “5”. The second character value for body system is physiological systems.
Placement section codes represent procedures for putting an externally placed device in or on a body region for the purpose of protection, immobilization, stretching, compression or packing. Placement procedure codes have a first character value of “2”.
Obstetrics procedure codes have a first character value of “1”. The second character value for body system is Pregnancy . The root operations Change, Drainage, Extraction, Insertion, Inspection, Removal, Repair, Reposition, Resection and Transplantation are used in the obstetrics section, and have the same meaning as in the medical and surgical section.
