ICD-9-CM is the United States’ modification of the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, developed by the World Health Organization. It is the most universally applied classification system for coding diagnoses, reasons for healthcare encounters, health status, and external causes of injury. The regulations regarding electronic transactions and code sets promulgated under HIPAA designate ICD-9-CM as the medical code set standard for diseases, injuries, or other encounters for healthcare services.
