A medical test is a medical procedure performed to detect, diagnose, or monitor diseases, disease processes, susceptibility, or to determine a course of treatment. The tests are classified by speciality field, conveying in which ward of a hospital or by which specialist doctor these tests are usually performed.
The ICD-10-CM is generally the most widely used standard by insurance companies and hospitals who have to communicate with one another, for giving an overview of medical tests and procedures. It has over 70,000 codes. This list is not exhaustive but might be useful as a guide, even though it is not yet categorized consistently and only partly sortable.
