Converting the doctor’s notes into alphanumerical codes is known as medical coding. It explains the diagnosis and the type of treatment provided to the patient.
ICD, the International Statistical Classifications of Diseases, is alphanumeric codes given to every diagnosis, description of symptoms and the cause of death attributed to human beings. The ICD codes in the United States are version 9 and are referred as ICD9 Coding.
This coding is similar to CPT coding. The only difference is CPT codes identify the service providers whereas ICD9 coding explains the diagnosis on the claim form.
