The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has released a complete list of the 2016 ICD-10-CM valid codes and code titles in a downloadable file.

The file can be used by physicians and their staffs to make sure “they are reporting all characters in a valid ICD-10-CM code,” CMS officials said.

“This list should assist providers who are unsure if additional characters are needed, such as the addition of a 7th character in order to arrive at a valid code.”

The file is available for download on the 2016 ICD-10-CM and GEMs website. It also features the 2016 ICD-10-PCS valid codes and code titles.
