Flow of Casemix System. Casemix is a patient classification system where there were two main components namely Clinical Coding and Cost Analysis. The coding process is conducted according to the International Classification Disease 10th Revision (ICD 10) for diagnosis coding and International Classification of Disease Ninth Clinical Modification (ICD-9 CM) for procedure coding.
