Answer to Question 1

MEDCIN provides 250,000 codes for such things as symptoms, history, physical examinations, tests, diagnosis, and treatment. MEDCIN codes can be integrated with other coding systems.

Answer to Question 2

Services including tests, laboratory work, examinations, and treatments are coded using CPTs (Current Procedural Terminology, 4th ed). The ICD is the International Classification of Diseases. ICD-10-CM (or ICD-9-CM) provides three-, four-, or five-digit codes for thousands of diseases.
