What is International Classification of Diseases (ICD)?
ICD-10, or the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition, is a coding system that is used by healthcare providers to categorize, classify and report diagnoses, medical conditions, injuries, and procedures. ICD-10 is developed by the World Health Organization (WHO). These codes are very important when it comes to the medical billing and coding process. These codes are used during filing insurance claims, maintaining patient records, and collection of statistical data. Accuracy in using ICD-10 codes ensures proper reimbursement of services rendered, and compliance with the healthcare regulations. Properly applied ICD-10 codes help reduce claim rejections, avoids audits and improves revenue cycle management.
