It bundles the April 2026 release of the official ICD-10-CM classification and exposes query and validation functions to check code validity, retrieve descriptions and clinical notes, and navigate parent-child and ancestor-descendant relationships within the code hierarchy.\n\nThe library is designed for healthcare applications, billing systems, and clinical data processing where you need to validate codes, look up their meanings, or understand how codes relate to each other. It includes support for extended subcategories, seventh-character modifiers, and various clinical annotations like exclusion rules and code-first instructions. You can also swap in alternative ICD-10-CM releases if needed.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you work with ICD-10-CM codes in Python. The library has no external dependencies, low install friction, a permissive license, and a stable API. Maintenance is aging but not abandoned; the last release was recent and the repository is active. No known vulnerabilities. The main caveat is confirming that the April 2026 release meets your jurisdiction's coding requirements."},"id":"simple-icd-10-cm","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/simple-icd-10-cm","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/simple-icd-10-cm.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/simple-icd-10-cm/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-02-02","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"simple-icd-10-cm","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A simple python library for ICD-10-CM codes"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":130057,"position":11652,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.5.0"}
