What classification codes are used in both ICD 9 and ICD 10?

  1. CCC Codes

  2. CPT Codes

  3. ICD Codes

  4. NOC Codes

The correct answer is: CCC Codes

CCCs (Clinical Classifications Software) are a system of classification codes used in both ICD-9 and ICD-10 for grouping patient diagnoses and procedures. The CCC Codes help simplify the complexity of the ICD system and are commonly used in healthcare settings for statistical and research purposes. While CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) Codes are used for billing and coding procedures in healthcare, they are not used in the ICD system. ICD Codes are used in both ICD-9 and ICD-10, but the specific question was asking about codes used in both versions. NOC (Nursing Outcomes Classification) Codes are used to describe patient outcomes in nursing, but they are not part of the ICD classification system.
