At present，the reform of medical insurance payment based on Diagnosis-Intervention Packet and Diagnosis Related Groups is in full swing. The problems of imperfect diagnosis and treatment information platform，few dominant diseases，irregular clinical pathways，and low service value of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have become prominent contradictions in the reform of medical insurance payment of TCM. The International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI) is a statistical system developed by the WHO for operational coding，which aims to provide countries with a set of standard information platforms for health intervention statistics and medical insurance payment. The perfect classification system may provide a perfect intervention information platform for TCM medical insurance payment，and also provide a reliable basis for the formulation of TCM clinical pathways，the selection of dominant diseases and the evaluation of value.
