R41. 82 - Altered mental status, unspecified. ICD-10-CM.
Transient alteration of awarenessR404 - ICD 10 Diagnosis Code - Transient alteration of awareness - Market Size, Prevalence, Incidence, Quality Outcomes, Top Hospitals & Physicians.
ICD-10 code R40. 4 for Transient alteration of awareness is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
An altered state of consciousness is a change in one's normal mental state as a result of trauma or accident or induced through meditation, drugs, some foods, etc. [1] The person is not unconscious.

ICD-10 code: K57. 92 Diverticulitis of intestine, part unspecified, without perforation, abscess or bleeding.
I63. 9 - Cerebral infarction, unspecified | ICD-10-CM.
Syncope is in the ICD-10 coding system coded as R55. 9 (syncope and collapse).
The two most common causes of altered awareness are seizures and reduced blood flow to the brain. Seizures are the result of transient and often episodic abnormalities of brain electrical activity.
What is an altered mental status? An altered mental status (AMS) isn't a specific disease. It's a change in mental function that stems from illnesses, disorders and injuries affecting your brain. It leads to changes in awareness, movement and behaviors.
The most common causes of syncopal TLOC include: (1) cardiogenic syncope (cardiac arrhythmias, structural cardiac diseases, others); (2) orthostatic hypotension (due to drugs, hypovolemia, primary or secondary autonomic failure, others); (3) neurally mediated syncope (cardioinhibitory, vasodepressor, and mixed forms).
An altered level of consciousness is any measure of arousal other than normal. Level of consciousness (LOC) is a measurement of a person's arousability and responsiveness to stimuli from the environment.
Somnolence (alternatively "sleepiness" or "drowsiness") is a state of near-sleep, a strong desire for sleep, or sleeping for unusually long periods. Unconsciousness is a state which occurs when the ability to maintain an awareness of self and environment is lost.
The conventions for the ICD-10-CM are the general rules for use of the classification independent of the guidelines. These conventions are incorporated within the Alphabetic Index and Tabular List of the ICD-10-CM as instructional notes.
two separate conditions classified to the same ICD-10-CM diagnosis code): Assign “Y” if all conditions represented by the single ICD-10-CM code were present on admission (e.g. bilateral unspecified age-related cataracts).
NEC “Not elsewhere classifiable” This abbreviation in the Alphabetic Index represents “other specified.”When a specific code is not available for a condition, the Alphabetic Index directs the coder to the “other specified” code in the Tabular List.
More than one external cause code is required to fully describe the external cause of an illness or injury. The assignment of external cause codes should be sequenced in the following priority:
The conventions, general guidelines and chapter-specific guidelines are applicable to all health care settings unless otherwise indicated. The conventions and instructions of the classification take precedence over guidelines.
Code assignment is based on the provider’s documentation of the relationship between the condition and the care or procedure, unless otherwise instructed by the classification. The guideline extends to any complications of care, regardless of the chapter the code is located in. It is important to note that not all conditions that occur during or following medical care or surgery are classified as complications. There must be a cause-and-effect relationship between the care provided and the condition, and an indication in the documentation that it is a complication. Query the provider for clarification, if the complication is not clearly documented.
Counseling Z codes are used when a patient or family member receives assistance in the aftermath of an illness or injury , or when support is required in coping with family or social problems. They are not used in conjunction with a diagnosis code when the counseling component of care is considered integral to standard treatment.
