Icd 9 CM 7

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, 2009, 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. 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. This CD- ROM contains the modifications approved from the March 2008 - March 2009 C&M cycle.
This CD- ROM is the only official federal government version of the ICD- 9- CM. It may be purchased through the
Government Printing Office.
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."
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.

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).
