ICD Codes

ICD codes, or International Classification of Diseases codes, are standardized identifiers used worldwide to classify and record health conditions, diseases, and related health problems. They help healthcare providers, researchers, and insurers communicate consistently about diagnoses, track health trends, and manage billing. Each code corresponds to a specific condition or health issue, making medical documentation accurate and systematic. Developed by the World Health Organization, these codes ensure clarity and uniformity across different healthcare settings, facilitating better patient care, health data collection, and analysis.
