Which of the following entities primarily uses ICD-10 codes for tracking public health?

A coder is working on a patient that has a history of smoking, which coding action would improve the outcome in the scenario?

What impact do both CPT and ICD-10-CM code updates have on the hospitals?

Clinical coding involves translating diseases, health-related issues, and procedural information exclusively into visual representations for data archiving.

One purpose of clinical coding is to hinder the retrieval of specific health information related to diseases for healthcare analysis.

According to the slide Healthcare Coding Systems, successful reimbursement does not depend on the use of coding systems recognised by the federal government.

According to the materials, Diagnosis/signs and symptoms, also known as 'Diseases' are exclusive to ICD11 and ICD12.

According to the slides, the International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, was developed by the United Nations to collect health insurance information.

The material states that ICD-11-CM, much like ICD-8-CM, is used in the United States to code various forms of payment information.

In both ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM, the primary organization of codes is structured around a purely numerical sequence, disregarding alphabetical categorization.

The text says in ICD-10-CM, the number of codes is 140,000 codes.

In both ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM, special characters are not allowed in the strings.

In ICD-10-CM, the seventh String in a character does not hold any meaning.

Dysphagia has the same value in ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM, according to the presentation material.

In ICD-9-CM coding, the codes consist of 2 to 6 characters.

ICD-10-CM codes always start with a numeric character.

According to slide 'ICD-9-CM STRUCTURE—FORMAT', categories are always numeric.

Based on the information, 'ICD-10-CM STRUCTURE', extensions are never added to the code to explain external causes of injury.

For outpatient therapies, we will usually use one of 5 choices: the A, B, C, D and S.

According to the information given in the presentation, S = Initial encounter; tissue after burn.

The specificity of coding has decreased with ICD-10.

Based on the slides, increased use of combination codes, is not due to the increase of ICD-10 to 70 K codes.

For any in-patient procedures at a hospital, you are required to use code from ICD-9-PCS.
