When you go to the doctor or hospital, they have a numerical system to identify your illness a/o injury. The codes serve as a way to classify the condition, syndromes or injuries. ICD-9 stands for InternationalClassification OfDiseases.

CPT coding refers to the type of visit, the length of time spent on the visit and the seriousness (simple to complex and various levels in between) of the visit.

This is used in Medical Billing as well as charting.
