ICD-9 Codes
As you are aware, specific ICD-9 Codes (International Classification of Diseases) are assigned to diagnoses and procedures that occur during a patient's hospitalization. At times, you will find the code in a medical chart without an explanation of what the code means. The American Academy of Family Physicians website has a listing of ICD-9 Codes for Family Medicine 2005-2006, and I find this helpful. This list includes the changes that took effect in 2005.
