  1. In order to avoid denials or delays in payment, many providers choose to outsource this service to a third party. In the United States of America, DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) is the official set of recognized diagnoses in mental health. Even though it includes everything needed for diagnosing a mental disorder, providers still need ICD-10 codes. This is because ICD-10 codes are adopted by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and are needed for simplifying the reporting of diagnoses. These codes are also necessary for streamlining the communication process between different healthcare entities.
