What is the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM)?
It is the most current diagnosis classification system developed for use in the United States. Currently, in the United States, providers in all healthcare settings use diagnostic codes for reporting conditions, symptoms and diseases using ICD-9-CM. Upon implementation of ICD-10-CM, these same providers would begin to use the new classification system for reporting conditions, symptoms and diseases for data collection, payment policy, research and other purposes.
