International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9) group

BWC groups ICD-9 codes into numeric sets. An ICD-9 group is defined as an injury or condition that is similar in nature and/or involves the same body part and can contain one or more ICD-9 codes. All codes in that group are interchangeable and you can use them for allowance and reimbursement purposes. You can download a list of BWC’s ICD-9 groups, or order a copy online.
