There are also many revisions to the language that ICD-9 codes use to describe conditions. Without updating the language to ICD-9 codes, a code could be selected improperly causing an incorrect code to be used.

The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (most commonly known by the abbreviation ICD) provides codes to classify diseases and a wide variety of signs, symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances and external causes of injury or disease. Every health condition can be assigned to a unique category and given a code, up to six characters long. Such categories can include a set of similar diseases.
