What does ICD-9-CM provide a diagnostic coding system for primarily?

  1. Pharmacy records

  2. Insurance claims

  3. Surgical procedures

  4. Physical therapy plans

The correct answer is: Insurance claims

ICD-9-CM, which stands for International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification, is a coding system used to classify and report medical diagnoses and conditions. It is primarily used for insurance claims processing and reimbursement. Pharmacy records, surgical procedures, and physical therapy plans are not primary uses of ICD-9-CM. While these records may contain diagnostic information, they are not the main purpose of the coding system.
