What is difference between icd 9 and icd 10?

The first difference is between the number of codes. ICD-9 has approximately 14,000 diagnoses codes and 4000 procedural codes. ICD-10 has over 68,000 diagnoses codes and 72,000 procedural codes. The second major difference is in the naming convention of the codes and the information they represent. ICD-9 codes have a decimal point after the third digit and are made up of a total of three to five digits. For ICD-10, the decimal point is after the third digit similar to ICD-9, but the length of the entire code is seven digits. These additional digits have been added to the code to represent information in much greater detail. Switching to ICD-10 will involve a lot of training as the codes are in great detail and more complex. Organizations that want their employees to undergo training for this new coding standard that'll roll out in October should consider the ICD-10 training programs CareerStep offers. This online training facilitates the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 and prepares employees to make the switch to the new coding standard easily.
