Description

This is a complete listing of ICD-10-CM Tabular code numbers, their associated category and full text descriptions, and general equivalence mapping (crosswalk) to ICD-9-CM.  Based on and comparable with the United Nations WHO (World Health Organization) ICD-10 system, this version is the proposed United States’ clinical modification (CM).  Its intent is to be a more useful tool than the current ICD-9-CM to classify morbidity data for indexing of medical records, medical care review, and ambulatory and other medical care programs, as well as for basic health statistics. To describe the clinical picture of the patient, the CM version must be more precise than those needed only for the reporting of healthcare mortality and morbidity.

Note: ICD-10-CM was developed by the WHO Collaborating Center for the Family of International Classifications in North America, housed at the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), which has the responsibility for the implementation of ICD and other WHO-FIC classifications and serves as a liaison with the WHO, fulfilling international obligations for comparable classifications and the national health data needs of the United States.  While numerous other countries have developed and implemented modified versions of the WHO ICD-10 (Example: ICD-10-CA for Canada), the codes in ICD-10-CM are not currently valid for any purpose or use. There is not yet an anticipated implementation date for the ICD-10-CM. Implementation will be based on the process for adoption of standard under HIPAA. Updated annually in January.

Effective Date: January 1, 2009
