The ICD-9 diagnosis codes contain all of the DSM-IV codes. I believe there are a few codes where ICD-9 requires more specificity than DSM-IV. The code descriptions between ICD-9 and DSM-IV are not identical, but are conceptually similar.

Does anybody know if they are duplicates of ICD-9-CM codes? Since they are not listed as HIPAA codes, what are others using instead? Can someone update me on this? I am confused.
