ICD-10 Definition
• ICD-10
– The International Classification of Disease tenth revision
(ICD-10) is a system of coding created by the World Health
Organization that notes various medical records including

of injury.
– Created in 1992 as the successor to previous ICD-9 system
– United States ICD-10 System to begin October 1, 2014
• ICD-10-CM – Clinical Modification – Outpatient Diagnostic Coding
• ICD-10-PCS – Inpatient Hospital Procedure Coding

» Conditions/services at high risk
» Able to generate additional revenue from implementation
– MS-DRG assignments based on ICD-10 denominated MSDRG v28 R1 grouper
» CMS releasing MS-DRG v29 grouper for ICD-10
» Spring 2012
– Deficiencies in coding/documentation for ICD-9
– Education/training and Documentation Improvement
