I was under impression, that US uses variant of ICD-10 (ICD-9 few years ago) nationally, so WHO browser [1] should more or less work. Not sure if it is copyrighted per se, but most likely official document from CDC or something. It may be a way to milk more money from patients, but at a serious consequences: CDC has biased statistics, changing doctor could be problematic, and probably the doctor risks losing their licence due to document forgery charges.
I thought that patients (both inpatients and outpatients) are required to give some form of confirmation (maybe verbal) on both correctness of anamnesis and understanding of discharge summary. One should probably always take copies with themselves to read those carefully.
It would be nice if someone more knowledgeable on actual particulars could expand (I'm from metric land)
