<strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">Purpose of Coding</span></strong><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"> Diagnosis codes</span><span style="color: black;"> are used to track </span><span style="color: black;">diseases</span><span style="color: black;"> and other health conditions, whether they are chronic diseases such as </span><span style="color: black;">diabetes mellitus</span><span style="color: black;"> and </span><span style="color: black;">heart disease</span><span style="color: black;">, to contagious diseases such as </span><span style="color: black;">norovirus</span><span style="color: black;">, the </span><span style="color: black;">flu</span><span style="color: black;">, and </span><span style="color: black;">athlete's foot</span><span style="color: black;">. These diagnosis and procedure codes are used by government health programs, private health insurance companies, workers' compensation carriers and others.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Medical classification systems are used for a variety of applications in </span><span style="color: black;">medicine</span><span style="color: black;">, </span><span style="color: black;">public health</span><span style="color: black;"> and </span><span style="color: black;">medical informatics</span><span style="color: black;">, including:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: black;">statistical analysis of diseases and therapeutic actions</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black;">reimbursement; e.g., based on </span><span style="color: black;">diagnosis-related groups (DRG)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black;">knowledge-based and </span><span style="color: black;">decision support systems</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black;">direct surveillance of epidemic or pandemic outbreaks</span></li>
</ul>

Medical coding is the transformation of narrative descriptions of diseases, injuries, and healthcare procedures into numeric or alphanumeric designations (that is, code numbers). The code numbers are detailed in order to accurately describe the diagnoses (that is, what is wrong with the patient) and the procedures performed to test or correct these diagnoses. </div>
