About Diagnosis Codes

Diagnosis Codes are used by entities within the health care industry to identify the specific medical diagnosis of patients receiving treatment. These codes correspond with the code list published quarterly by the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services branch of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Diagnosis Codes are used primarily to identify the patient diagnosis on Encounter or Claim records.
