ICD-10 Billing, Coding and Documentation TrainingThe ICD-9-CM coding system has become outdated and obsolete. The 9th revision cannot describe diagnoses accurately with the level of detail needed for the reporting purposes of our health care system. Identifying and capturing health care data is used for tracking trends, analyzing quality, comparing and evaluating outcomes from different treatment methods, and comparing statistics internationally. The ICD-9-CM system is also hampered by a lack of available places left for expansion within the diagnostic categories as future updates are made.
The ICD-10-CM coding system provides a significantly increased amount of options for coding medical diagnoses that reflect modern medical knowledge and terminology. The increased availability of codes allows for much greater precision and specificity within the choice of diagnosis codes. ICD-10-CM also has built-in flexibility for future expansion to add new codes for medical diagnoses.
