ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision) is the World Health Organization's standard for coding diagnoses and conditions into alphanumeric codes used worldwide.
Accurate ICD-10 coding is essential for insurance claims, reimbursement, reporting and epidemiology. In Saudi Arabia, correct coding is required for NPHIES claims; in Egypt for Universal Health Insurance.
SBS configures ICD-10 (and procedure coding) inside the HIS/EMR and RCM, with coding validation so claims pass payer edits the first time.
