2 ICD 9 CM 3 5 characters in length 1st character may be alpha, but is usually numeric; 2nd 5th characters are numeric Approximately 14,000 codes Limited space for adding new codes Lacks detail vs. ICD 10 CM 3 7 characters in length Character 1 is alpha, character 2 is always numeric, characters 3 7 can be either alpha or numeric Approximately 69,000 codes Flexibility for adding new codes Very specific 3 Example: S12 Fracture of cervical vertebra and other parts of neck Note: A fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed Includes: Fracture of cervical neural arch Fracture of cervical spine Fracture of cervical spinous process Fracture of cervical transverse process Fracture of cervical vertebral arch Fracture of neck Web_Non Traumatic Spine ICD10 (TR) v2 2

3 Excludes Notes The ICD 10 CM has two types of excludes notes (recall that ICD 9 CM had only one type of excludes notes). Excludes1 Excludes2 5 Excludes1 This is a pure excludes. It means 'NOT CODED HERE!' and the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. M48.5 Collapsed vertebra, not elsewhere classified Excludes 1 Current injury see injury of spine pathological fracture of vertebra due to neoplasm (M84.58) Web_Non Traumatic Spine ICD10 (TR) v2 3

4 Excludes2 Means NOT INCLUDED HERE. An Excludes2 note indicates that the condition is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient could possibly have both conditions at the same time. In this case, it could be acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together; such as: M51 Thoracic, thoracolumbar and lumbosacral intervertebral disc disorders Excludes2 Cervical and cervicothoracic disc disorder (M50. ) 7 Other or Other Specified ( Not Elsewhere Classified NEC) Use when information in the medical record provide detail for which a specific code does not exist. Specific disease is documented but there is no diagnosis code. Unspecified ( Not Otherwise Specified NOS) Use when the information in the medical record is insufficient to assign a more specific code Web_Non Traumatic Spine ICD10 (TR) v2 4
