ICD-9-CM Coding Guidance for LTC Facilities

Diagnostic coding plays several important roles in every healthcare setting, including long-term care (LTC) nursing facilities. LTC facilities assign ICD-9-CM codes to capture a resident's clinical conditions.

ICD-9-CM facilitates the collection and organization of healthcare statistics on the incidence of diseases. Diagnostic coding is used to:

  • Collect diagnostic and statistical data about persons treated by healthcare providers
  • Support clinical decision making
  • Support reimbursement for services provided
  • Comply with federal standards for reporting diagnostic data
  • Provide data to support clinical research and quality improvement activities
