ICD-10 refers to the tenth edition of the International Classification of Diseases, which is a medical coding system chiefly designed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to catalog health conditions by categories of similar diseases under which more specific conditions are listed, thus mapping nuanced diseases to broader morbidities.
The first 3 characters refer to the code category. As such, they represent common traits, a disease or group of related diseases and conditions.
ICD-10-CM codes consist of three to seven characters. Every code begins with an alpha character, which is indicative of the chapter to which the code is classified. The second and third characters are numbers. The fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh characters can be numbers or letters.
ICD-10-PCS is composed of 17 sections, represented by the numbers 0–9 and the letters B–D, F–H and X. The broad procedure categories contained in these sections range from surgical procedures to substance abuse treatment and new technology.
ICD-10 external cause codes provide details explaining the events surrounding an injury, which are especially useful in collecting statistics for policy decisions concerning public health . These ICD-10 codes also play an important role in workers’ compensation claims.
This four-part index encompasses the Index of Diseases and Injury, the Index of External Causes of Injury, the Table of Neoplasms, and the Table of Drugs and Chemicals, all of which are designed to streamline the process of locating the necessary diagnosis codes and ICD-10 coding instructions.
Sections II – IV Conventions outline rules and principles for the selection of primary diagnoses, reporting additional diagnoses, and diagnostic coding and report ing of outpatient services.
