<h3>What is ICD-10-CM code?</h3>
The ICD-10-CM is a morbidity categorization system used in all healthcare settings to categorize diagnoses and the reasons for visits. It was developed in the United States. The World Health Organization's statistical classification of diseases, the ICD-10, is the foundation of the ICD-10-CM (WHO).
<h3>How are public health entities affected?</h3>
Currently, diseases, injuries, medical interactions, and inpatient operations are classified in morbidity settings using ICD-9-CM codes. In order to carry out numerous disease-related tasks, U.S. public health <u>officials at the federal, state, and local levels</u> depend on receiving ICD-9-CM coded data from HIPAA-covered companies. ICD-9-CM codes are used by CDC programs for surveillance (e.g., chronic disease and injury surveillance, health care utilization, adverse events related to health care), case findings lists to identify cases of reportable cancers and certain birth defects and disabilities, and to provide public use data files for public analysis. A few programs assign codes and abstract data from patient medical records; one CDC program uses ICD-9-CM codes for claims reimbursement.
