PREFACE
This sixth edition of the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision,

Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) is being published by the United States
Government in recognition of its responsibility to promulgate this classification
throughout the United States for morbidity coding. The International
Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, published by the World Health
Organization (WHO) is the foundation of the ICD-9-CM and continues to be the
classification employed in cause-of-death coding in the United States. The ICD-
9-CM is completely comparable with the ICD-9. The WHO Collaborating Center
for Classification of Diseases in North America serves as liaison between the
international obligations for comparable classifications and the national health
data needs of the United States.
The ICD-9-CM is recommended for use in all clinical settings but is required for
reporting diagnoses and diseases to all U.S. Public Health Service and the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (formerly the Health Care Financing
Administration) programs. Guidance in the use of this classification can be
found in the section "Guidance in the Use of ICD-9-CM."
ICD-9-CM extensions, interpretations, modifications, addenda, or errata other

than those approved by the U.S. Public Health Service and the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services are not to be considered official and should not
be utilized. Continuous maintenance of the ICD-9- CM is the responsibility of
the Federal Government. However, because the ICD-9-CM represents the best in
contemporary thinking of clinicians, nosologists, epidemiologists, and
statisticians from both public and private sectors, no future modifications will
be considered without extensive advice from the appropriate representatives of
all major users.
All official authorized addenda through October 1, 2004, have been included in
this sixth edition.

INTRODUCTION
The International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification

(ICD-9-CM) is based on the official version of the World Health Organization's
9th Revision, International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9). ICD-9 is designed
for the classification of morbidity and mortality information for statistical
purposes, and for the indexing of hospital records by disease and operations,
for data storage and retrieval. The historical background of the International
Classification of Diseases may be found in the Introduction to ICD-9 (Manual of
the International Classification of Diseases, Injuries, and Causes of Death, World
Health Organization, Geneva, Switzerland, 1977).
ICD-9-CM is a clinical modification of the World Health Organization's

International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9). The term "clinical"
is used to emphasize the modification's intent: to serve as a useful tool in the
area of classification of morbidity data for indexing of medical records, medical
care review, and ambulatory and other medical care programs, as well as for
basic health statistics. To describe the clinical picture of the patient, the codes
must be more precise than those needed only for statistical groupings and
trend analysis.
THE ICD-9-CM COORDINATION AND MAINTENANCE COMMITTEE
Annual modifications are made to the ICD-9-CM through the ICD-9-CM

Coordination and Maintenance Committee (C&M). The Committee is made up
of representatives from two Federal Government agencies, the National Center
for Health Statistics and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (formerly
the Health Care Financing Administration). The Committee holds meetings
twice a year which are open to the public. Modifcation proposals submitted to
the Committee for consideration are presented at the meetings for public
discussion. Those modification proposals which are approved are incorporated
into the official government version of the ICD-9-CM and become effective for
use the October 1 of the year following their presentation.
CONVENTIONS USED IN THE TABULAR LIST
The ICD-9-CM Tabular List for both the Disease and Procedure Classification
makes use of certain abbreviations, punctuation, and other conventions which
need to be clearly understood.
Abbreviations
NEC Not elsewhere classifiable. The category number for the term
including NEC is to be used only when the coder lacks the information
necessary to code the term to a more specific category.
NOS Not otherwise specified. This abbreviation is the equivalent of

"unspecified."
4
Punctuation
[ ] Brackets are used to enclose synonyms, alternative wordings, or
explanatory phrases.
() Parentheses are used to enclose supplementary words which may be

present or absent in the statement of a disease or procedure without
affecting the code number to which it is assigned.
: Colons are used in the Tabular List after an incomplete term which
needs one or more of the modifiers which follow in order to make it
assignable to a given category.
OTHER CONVENTIONS
Format: ICD-9-CM uses an indented format for ease in reference.

Instructional Notations
Includes:
This note appears immediately under a three-digit code title to further
define, or give example of, the contents of the category.
Excludes:
Terms following the word "excludes" are to be coded elsewhere. The term
excludes means "DO NOT CODE HERE".
Use additional code
This instruction is placed in the Tabular List in those categories where the
user will need to add further information (by using an additional code) to
give a more complete picture of the diagnosis or procedure.
GUIDANCE IN THE USE OF ICD-9-CM
To code accurately, it is necessary to have a working knowledge of medical

terminology and to understand the characteristics, terminology, and
conventions of the ICD-9-CM. Transforming verbal descriptions of diseases,
injuries, conditions, and procedures into numerical designations (coding) is a
complex activity and should not be undertaken without proper training.
Originally coding was accomplished to provide access to medical records by
diagnoses and operations through retrieval for medical research, education,
and administration. Medical codes today are utilized to facilitate payment of
health services, to evaluate utilization patterns, and to study the
appropriateness of health care costs. Coding provides the bases for
epidemiological studies and research into the quality of health care.
Coding must be performed correctly and consistently to produce meaningful
statistics to aid in the planning for the health needs of the Nation.

Code also any associated:
endotracheal tube insertion (96.04)
tracheostomy (31.1-31.29)
Note: Endotracheal Intubation
To calculate the number of hours (duration) of continuous
mechanical ventilation during a hospitalization, begin the count
from the start of the (endotracheal) intubation. The duration ends
with (endotracheal) extubation.

If a patient is intubated prior to admission, begin counting the

duration from the time of the admission. If a patient is transferred
(discharged) while intubated, the duration would end at the time of
transfer (discharge).
For patients who begin on (endotracheal) intubation and
subsequently have a tracheostomy performed for mechanical
ventilation, the duration begins with the (endotracheal) intubation
and ends when the mechanical ventilation is turned off (after the
weaning period).
Tracheostomy
To calculate the number of hours of continuous mechanical
ventilation during a hospitalization, begin counting the duration
when mechanical ventilation is started. The duration ends when the
mechanical ventilator is turned off (after the weaning period).
If a patient has received a tracheostomy prior to admission and is
on mechanical ventilation at the time of admission, begin counting
the duration from the time of admission. If a patient is transferred
(discharged) while still on mechanical ventilation via tracheostomy,
the duration would end at the time of the transfer (discharge).

Conversion Table of New ICD-9-CM Codes, October 2004

The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and the Centers for Medicare
& Medicaid Services (CMS), have issued new diagnosis and procedure codes
for the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical
Modification (ICD-9-CM) every year since 1986. New code assignments are the
result of year-long efforts of the ICD-9-CM Coordination and Maintenance
Committee, which is sponsored jointly by NCHS and CMS. The effective date
for new codes is the same every year, October 1.
The Conversion Table for new ICD-9-CM Codes is provided to assist users
in data retrieval. For each new code the table shows the date it became
effective and its previously assigned code equivalent. The code equivalents
were used for reporting diagnosis and procedure information up to the
time the new codes were issued.
