Diagnoses, signs, and symptoms are coded from which coding system?

• A. CPT
• B. ICD-10-CM
• C. HCPCS
• D. ICD-9-CM

Answer: (B)

Diagnoses, signs, and symptoms are coded using ICD-10-CM. This system is the diagnosis coding set used to classify diseases and other health problems, including symptoms and abnormal findings that contribute to the diagnostic picture. CPT codes are for procedures and services, not diagnoses; HCPCS covers additional codes for supplies, equipment, and certain services; ICD-9-CM is the older diagnosis coding set that has been replaced by ICD-10-CM.
