Introduction
Medical coding systems are fundamental to medical record keeping as well as to gathering and communicating public health statistics. They are used for a variety of purposes:
- recording causes of death
- coding diseases and procedures
- physician billing and reimbursement
Resources for six medical coding systems are covered in this guide:
- International Classification of Diseases (ICD)
- Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)
- Current Procedural Terminology (CPT)
- Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRG)
- Resource-Based Relative Value Scale (RBRVS)
- Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine -- Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT)
Each coding system has its own tab, and in each tab there are lists of resources pertaining to the particular system.
