Final answer:

The statement about the pre-release draft of ICD-10-CM being replaced in 2007 is false. The ICD-10-CM was actually implemented on October 1, 2015, after several delays. The ICD-10-CM is used for coding diagnoses and reason for visits in the U.S. health care system.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that the pre-release draft of the ICD-10-CM was released in June of 2003 and replaced with a revision in July of 2007 is false. The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) is a system used in the United States for coding diagnoses and reason for visits in all health care settings. The ICD-10-CM was developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for use in the U.S. health care system, and in no case was the 2003 draft replaced by a 2007 revision.

The actual release of ICD-10-CM as a replacement for ICD-9-CM was scheduled to take place on October 1, 2013, but was delayed several times, with the final implementation happening on October 1, 2015.
