ICD-9 Groups
|
BWC arranges International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9) codes into
numeric groups. 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 can be used
for both allowance and reimbursement purposes.

When using the ICD-9 Group document, remember:
|
- Each group is assigned an abbreviated group name corresponding
to the ICD-9 chapters in the book. Each code with the same group name
resides in the same group;
- Codes listed individually without a group name appear blank and default
to the standard narrative description, and exist in a group of one;
- An ICD-9 code may only appear in one ICD-9 group;
- All ICD-9 codes are not addressed or listed; therefore, these reside
in a group of one.
|
This document identifies the ICD-9 codes listed in the groups. It will assist
you in locating any ICD-9 code within a group.
|
This is not the complete list of ICD-9 codes. If you want a comprehensive
list, purchase an ICD-9-CM book.
