Weegy: Could you please clarify the question? User: what is icd 9 code? Weegy: ICD-9 is an acronym used in the medical field that stands for International Classification of Diseases, ninth revision. In the United States, the ICD-9 covered the years 1979 to 1998. [ Currently, ICD-10, which is the tenth revision, is in effect as the most current database of disease classifications. ICD-9 was used in the US until the 10th revision became fully implemented in 1998, though the actual revision was concluded some years earlier. The ICD is used to provide a standard classification of diseases for the purpose of health records. The World Health Organization (WHO) assigns, publishes, and uses the ICD to classify diseases and to track mortality rates based on death certificates and other vital health records. Medical conditions and diseases are translated into a single format with the use of ICD codes. The current ICD-10 varies slightly from the previous ICD-9 and includes almost double the number of categories in a total of three volumes. ] (More)
