ICD-9 has 4000 procedural codes and ICD-10 has almost 72000. The nomenclature for these codes has also been modified in ICD-10. ICD-9 only had numeric code names, but ICD-10 will have alphanumeric code names. This naming convention will hopefully simplify matters by providing more accurate data for claim processing, clinical documentation, and research.
