What Do ICD Codes Mean?

International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes help researchers with healthcare tracking and statistical analysis, but they’re also important to patients. ICD codes play a role in insurance billing, as they establish the necessity of a medical treatment for reimbursement.

Medical records often contain ICD codes, which can be confusing for patients to understand. When combined with complex descriptions of conditions, diagnoses, and treatments, patients may struggle to fully comprehend the data within their records.

DrOwl explains ICD codes and provides medical information in clear language so that you can better grasp your health records. When medical records are clarified, patients can understand ICD codes like:

  • E11.65 (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus With Hyperglycemia)
  • R41.3 (Memory Loss)
  • I25.10 (Cardiovascular Disease Unspecified)
  • D64.9 (Alzheimer’s Disease Unspecified)
