If you have seen a health care professional for anything since April 1, 2022, you have been Covid Vaccination code labeled.

A little bit about the coding system in general: The United States healthcare industry first adopted the World Health Organization's ICD medical coding system in 1979.

It was deemed important because it provided a common language for recording, reporting and monitoring diseases. It also allowed the comparing and sharing of data in a consistent and standard way – between hospitals, regions and countries and over periods of time.

In other words, health care providers are ORDERED to use it to categorize different kinds of patients. The ICD-10 codes are preserved in a patient’s electronic health record and used by insurance companies for billing purposes. The CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics maintains the codes. Within the ICD codes, there is a category known as “ICD-10-CM” codes (which are reportedly used by the CDC for tracking purposes), and this “CM” category includes the new “Unvaccinated for COVID-19” category and also the “Partially Vaccinated For COVID-19” category and the “other underimmunization status” category.
