Adding to what explained, these codes also help with the systematic recording, reporting, and analysis of health conditions in patients. They're crucial for data collection and are used for reimbursement processes as well.

Correct,. If I may add, these codes also assist in the monitoring of the incidence and prevalence of diseases and other health problems. Medical care providers and insurance companies use them to track diseases and health conditions, keep healthcare costs down, and maintain quality of care.
