What it means
The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) is the US standard code set for diagnosis reporting on medical claims. Maintained by the CDC, it assigns alphanumeric codes (e.g., J06.9 for acute upper respiratory infection) to every recognized diagnosis. As of FY2027, ICD-10-CM contains over 74,000 billable codes. Providers must use the correct ICD-10-CM code on insurance claims for the claim to be processed.
