The ICD-9 (International
Classification of Disease):
The ICD-9 Code
must be
supplied by the referring physician as massage therapists are not allowed to
diagnose any conditions. Even if they just write a prescription say for back
pain, the physician must provide the code even though you may know what the
code for back pain is. There are many different codes to describe
different conditions and diseases. It is important to get the correct code.
