What Is ICD-10?
ICD-10, also known as the International Classification of Diseases, was designed to simplify the daily tasks of diagnosticians. When doctors provide referrals for tests or prescriptions, they often use a numerical and letter abbreviation, such as E03, R12, or L55, to denote the specific disease corresponding to ICD-10 codes. These codes categorize diseases into subgroups, enabling efficient diagnosis. Each letter in the code serves a specific purpose.
