Answer:

ICD-10-CM (Clinical Modification)  are codes used to describe the primary diagnosis of a patient

CPT codes are the billing codes used for getting payment from insurance companies

Explanation:

ICD is the international standard for reporting diseases and health conditions including monitoring of disease. ICD-10 is the the 10th edition.

As explained above, ICD-10 codes describe the main/primary diagnosis this is followed by the CPT/billing code which describes how insurance companies should pay for said primary condition - making them dependent.

Modifiers are then used to give more information about the ICD-10 codes or adjust care descriptions, they provide extra details concerning a procedure or service provided by a doctor. They also help further describe a procedure code without changing its definition
