The Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices in Germany (BfArM) published the final version of the ICD-10-GM (International Classification of Diseases) for 2024 on its website on September 21st 2023.
The ICD provides codes for the assignment of diseases and is thus relevant for the reimbursement. The main and secondary diagnoses of the patient are relevant for the DRG allocation and for the reimbursement. The ICD-codes and the reimbursement are transferred to the payers.
Some important changes have been made for various diseases. New 5-digit codes have been introduced for Acute Respiratory Syndrome, Myocardial Infarction and Pulmonary Hypertension to allow more specific coding. You can find the official ICD-10-GM version 2024 here.
