Other ICD-9 codes begin with a number, which indicate the reason for the patient's visit or gives more information about the diagnosis. On claims, ICD-9 codes are always associated with CPT codes, which are the procedure codes. The procedure and the diagnosis codes combined tell the story of what happened at the visit.
ICD-9-CM V16.9 is one of thousands of ICD-9-CM codes used in healthcare. Although ICD-9-CM and CPT codes are largely numeric, they differ in that CPT codes describe medical procedures and services. Can't find a code?

Use of ICD-10 codes is supported by the American Dental Association. The ADA now includes both dental- and medical-related ICD-10 codes in its “CDT Code Book.” Dental schools have included the use of ICD-10 codes in their curricula to prepare graduating dentists for their use in practice.
CDT Codes are a set of medical codes for dental procedures that cover oral health and dentistry. Each procedural code is an alphanumeric code beginning with the letter “D” (the procedure code) and followed by four numbers (the nomenclature). It also includes written descriptions for some of the procedural codes.
