One of the main differences between ICD-9 and ICD-10 is in the number of codes. ICD-9 has approximately 14000 diagnosis codes whereas ICD-10 has 68000. ICD-9 has 4000 procedural codes and ICD-10 has almost 72000. The nomenclature for these codes has also been modified in ICD-10. ICD-9 only had numeric code names, but ICD-10 will have alphanumeric code names. This naming convention will hopefully simplify matters by providing more accurate data for claim processing, clinical documentation, and research. ICD-10, which will be implemented in October will require coders to undergo training to familiarize themselves with the new coding practices. Several institutes, such as CareerStep offer training to students and professional coders who wish to upgrade their skill set to the new ICD-10-CM set of codes.
