# ICD-10-CM Medical Coder

Part of the **[AxisMapper Medical AI Suite](https://huggingface.co/collections/AmareshHebbar/axiomapper-medical-ai-suite)** — 16 domain-specific SFT datasets for fine-tuning medical LLMs.

**Built by [AmareshHebbar](https://huggingface.co/AmareshHebbar) | Studio Ilios / Humanova Minds**

---

## What this dataset does

Maps clinical descriptions to ICD-10-CM codes

## Why download this

Fine-tune LLMs to automatically assign ICD-10-CM codes from clinical text. Useful for EHR automation, medical coding assistants, and clinical NLP pipelines.

## Dataset stats

| Split | Rows |
|-------|------|
| Train | 59,775 |
| Validation | 7,472 |
| Test | 7,472 |
| **Total** | **74,719** |

## Data format

Every row is a `messages` list in chat format — compatible with **Unsloth**, **TRL SFTTrainer**, **LLaMA-Factory**, and any OpenAI-style fine-tuning pipeline:

```json
{
  "messages": [
    {"role": "system",    "content": "You are a ..."},
    {"role": "user",      "content": "Patient presents with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes with diabetic nephropathy."},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "E11.65 — Type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia
Secondary: N08 — Glomerular disorders in diseases classified elsewhere"}
  ]
}
```

## Data source

**CMS FY2026 ICD-10-CM Tabular Order (97k billable codes)**
→ https://www.cms.gov/medicare/coding-billing/icd-10-codes

All data is extracted from authoritative public sources. No LLM-generated or synthetic content.

## Who should use this

Medical coders, clinical NLP engineers, health informatics researchers, EHR vendors.

## Quick start

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("AmareshHebbar/icd10-coder-sft")
print(ds["train"][0])
```

## Fine-tuning example (Unsloth)

```python
from unsloth import FastLanguageModel
from trl import SFTTrainer
from datasets import load_dataset

model, tokenizer = FastLanguageModel.from_pretrained(
    model_name="unsloth/Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct",
    max_seq_length=2048,
    load_in_4bit=True,
)

dataset = load_dataset("AmareshHebbar/icd10-coder-sft", split="train")

trainer = SFTTrainer(
    model=model,
    tokenizer=tokenizer,
    train_dataset=dataset,
    dataset_text_field="messages",
    max_seq_length=2048,
)
trainer.train()
```
