ICD-10-CM Overview
Benefits of ICD-10-CM ICD-10-CM incorporates much greater clinical detail and
specificity than ICD-9-CM Terminology and disease classification have been updated to
be consistent with current clinical practice A new modern classification system will provide much better
data needed for: Measuring care, quality, safety, and efficacy of care
Reduction of paper work related to documentation queries
Improving payment systems and reimbursement
ICD-10-CM Overview
New ICD-10-CM features Laterality (left, right, bilateral)
Examples: C50.511 - Malignant neoplasm of lower-outer quadrant of
right female breast H16.013 - Central corneal ulcer, bilateral L89.012 - Pressure ulcer of right
elbow, stage II

E11.341 - Type 2 diabetes mellitus with severe nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy with macular edema
I25.110 - Atherosclerotic heart
ICD-10-CM Overview
Combination codes for poisonings and associated external cause Example:
T42.3X2S - Poisoning by barbiturates, intentional self-harm, sequela
Obstetric codes identify trimester instead of episode of care Example:
O26.02 - Excessive weight gain in pregnancy, second trimester
ICD-10-CM Overview
Character “X” Used as a 5th character placeholder in to allow for future
expansion and to fill in other empty characters Used when a code less than 6 characters in length
requires a 7th character Examples:
T46.1X5A - Adverse effect of calcium-channel blockers, initial encounter
T15.02XD - Foreign body in cornea, left eye, subsequent encounter
ICD-10-CM Overview
ICD-10-CM Overview
Two types of Excludes notes Excludes 1
Indicates the code excluded should never be used with the code where the note is located Do not report both codes
Example: Q03 - Congenital hydrocephalus Excludes 1: Acquired hydrocephalus - G91
ICD-10-CM Overview
Excludes 2 Indicates the condition excluded is not part of the condition
represented by the code A patient may have both conditions at the same time Both codes may be assigned together to capture both
conditions Example:
L27.2 - Dermatitis due to ingested food Excludes 2: Dermatitis due to food in contact with skin - L23.6,
L24.6, L25.4
Inclusion of Clinical Concepts Underdosing, blood type, blood alcohol level Examples:
T45.526D - Underdosing of antithrombotic drugs, subsequent encounter
Z67.40 - Type O blood, Rh positive Y90.6 - Blood alcohol level of 120-199 mg/100 ml

complications and postprocedural disorders Examples:

D78.21 - Postprocedural hemorrhage and hematoma of spleen following a procedure on the spleen
ICD-10-CM Overview
Other Changes in ICD-10-CM Injuries grouped by anatomical site rather than by type of
injury Restructuring and reorganization in number of chapters Reclassification for certain diseases to different chapters New code definitions
Definition of acute myocardial infarction is now 4 weeks rather than 8 weeks
