ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS are two different coding systems used in healthcare.
ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification) is a diagnosis coding system used to classify and code diseases, injuries, and other medical conditions. It is used in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, and physicians' offices. ICD-10-CM codes are alphanumeric codes that represent specific diagnoses and conditions, and are used to facilitate billing and reimbursement, as well as to track disease patterns and trends.
ICD-10-PCS (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Procedure Coding System) is a procedure coding system used to classify and code medical procedures and interventions. It is used primarily in hospital inpatient settings, and is used to code procedures performed during inpatient hospital stays. ICD-10-PCS codes are alphanumeric codes that represent specific medical procedures, and are used to facilitate billing and reimbursement, as well as to track procedural patterns and trends.
In summary, ICD-10-CM is used for diagnosis coding, while ICD-10-PCS is used for procedure coding, and they are both important tools used in healthcare to facilitate billing, reimbursement, tracking of disease patterns and procedural trends.
