Basic ICD-10 INFORMATION
World Health Organization (WHO) authorized the publication of the International Classification of Diseases External 10th Revision (ICD-10), which was implemented for mortality coding and classification from death certificates in the U.S. in 1999. The U.S. developed a Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) for medical diagnoses based on WHO’s ICD-10. This medical classification list is generated by the World Health Organization (WHO), and is used to help healthcare providers identify and code health conditions.
