ICD9CM is the official system of assigning codes associated with hospitals in the Untied States. Originally used to code and classify mortality data from death certificates until 1999.

The best way to relieve seasonal allergies is to take an allergy medication such as Claritin (loratadine) or Zyrtec (cetirizine).
The ICD-9-CM code for gastroenteritis due to the Norwalk virus is 008.63. This code will become A08.11 with the new ICD-10-CM codes.
