The ICD 10 is the European version of the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, current version IV). As well as mental disorders is also covers other medical conditions that doctors may diagnose, but chapter V covers mental disorders. It tells doctors what the signs and symptoms are of conditions need to be present for a diagnosis to be made.

Compare DSM-IV and ICD-10?

DSM-IV codes are used specifically for classifying mental disorders for medical records and billing. ICD-10 codes are the newest set of medical billing codes that will need to be used beginning October 2015.


What are the similarities and differences between dsm iv and dsm iv tr?

ICD 10. It has two different criteria. Clinical criteria are qualitative and picture-fitting. Research criteria are quantitative and menu-driven. DSM-IV has only menu driven criteria. Thus inter-rater reliability for DSM-IV diagnoses are poor due to poor adherence to quantitative criteria in actual practice. ICD 10 encourages selection of one diagnosis, whereas DSM-IV allows selection of as many diagnoses as fit the criteria. Diagnostic categorical differences. In DSM IV, schizophrenic symptoms are required to be present for six months unless florid, whereas in ICD 10 it is only 1 month. IN DSM IV conversion and dissociative disorders are distinguished, not in ICD 10. In DSM IV there are two types of anorexia (binging and non), and two types of bulimia (purging and non), whereas in ICD 10 there is simply anorexia, bulimia, and undefined atypical forms. Axial Systems IN ICD 10 the axial system is as follows: AXIS I: Clinical psychiatric syndromes AXIS II: Specific disorders of development AXIS III: Intellectual level AXIS IV: Associated medical conditions AXIS V: Associated abnormal psychosocial conditions AXIS VI: Global Social Functioning Note that in ICD 10, AXIS I includes pschiatric disorders, personality disorders, and mental retardation, but not disability. In ICD 10, Axis II is similar to DSM IV Axis V, Global Assessment of Function... (I don't think it could be any more confusing than this!) In DSM IV, the axial system is like this: AXIS 1: Clinical psychiatric disorders AXIS II: Personality disorders, mental retardation, maladaptive personality.behavior AXIS III: General medical disorders. AXIS IV: PSychosocial/envrionmental stressors. AXIS V: Global Assessment of Function. Note that in DSM-IV, autism is AXIS 1, substance abuse is AXIS 1, OCD is AXIS I but OCPD is AXIS II.

What are the differences between the ICD-9 and ICD-10?

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.

What is the difference between icd-9 and icd-10 for coding?

ICD-10 is a diagnostic coding system implemented by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1993 to replace ICD-9, which was developed by WHO in the 1970s. ICD-10-CM is scheduled to replace ICD-9-CM, our current U.S. diagnostic code set, on Oct. 1, 2013. Medical science keeps making new discoveries, and there are no numbers to assign these diagnoses. ICD-9 is out of room because the classifications are organized scientifically and each three-digit category can have only 10 subcategories. Most numbers in most categories have been assigned diagnoses.
