ICD-10 has a higher degree of specificity as there are 155,000 different code assignments available in ICD-10 compared to the 17,000 codes in ICD-9. ICD-10 allows the capture of severity of illness, measure health care services provided to the patients, enhance clinical decision-making, track public health issues, assist in the collection of data for medical research, and identify fraud and abuse. ICD-10 is also the international standard to report and monitor diseases and mortality. ICD-10 Implementation Date October 1, 2013 Sign up for the free AHIMA ICD-TEN monthly e-newsletter.
