Dysphagia, unspecified. R13.10 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Dysphagia, pharyngoesophageal phase. R13.14 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM R13.14 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of R13.14 - other international versions of ICD-10 R13.14 may differ.
For such conditions, ICD-10-CM has a coding convention that requires the underlying condition be sequenced first followed by the manifestation. Wherever such a combination exists there is a "use additional code" note at the etiology code, and a "code first" note at the manifestation code.
gastro-esophageal reflux disease ( K21.-) gastro-esophageal reflux disease ( K21.-) Reimbursement claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015 require the use of ICD-10-CM codes.
Aspiration is defined as the passing of the bolus below the true vocal folds, and penetration is when the bolus enters the airway but not below the true vocal folds.
Code R13. 10 is the diagnosis code used for Dysphagia, Unspecified. It is a disorder characterized by difficulty in swallowing. It may be observed in patients with stroke, motor neuron disorders, cancer of the throat or mouth, head and neck injuries, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis.
Laryngeal penetration occurs when food or liquids enters the top of the airway (the voice box/ larynx). Aspiration occurs when food or liquids enters the lower airway (below the level of the vocal cords in the larynx).
A videofluoroscopy assesses your swallowing ability. It takes place in the X-ray department and provides a moving image of your swallowing in real time. You'll be asked to swallow different types of food and drink of different consistencies, mixed with a non-toxic liquid called barium that shows up on X-rays.
Dysphagia, oropharyngeal phase R13. 12 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R13. 12 became effective on October 1, 2021.
R13. 11, Dysphagia, oral phase.
Aspiration is defined as passage of materials through the vocal folds, and laryngeal penetration is defined as passage of materials into the larynx, but not through the vocal folds. In this study, we compared the risk of laryngeal penetration or aspiration during VF using various liquid volumes and food consistencies.
Abstract. Glottal closure during the pharyngeal phase of swallowing is one of the important steps in protecting the airway. Generally, it is believed that any deficiency in this process can lead to laryngeal penetration and aspiration.
The term aspiration is used for material that passes inferior to the level of the vocal folds. If material enters the larynx but remains above the vocal folds this is called penetration.
A Videofluoroscopic Swallow Study (VFSS), also known as a Modified Barium Swallow (MBS), is a procedure a speech pathologist completes in order to evaluate the anatomy and physiology of the oral cavity, pharynx, and screening of the esophagus.
Referral for videofluoroscopy will normally be instigated by a Speech and Language Therapist (SLT) or Paediatrician The therapist should ensure: i. Patients should be referred to the SLT prior to the examination for clinical evaluation of swallowing ii.
The Modified Barium Swallow Impairment Profile, or MBSImP, is a standardized approach to instruction, assessment, and reporting of physiologic swallowing impairment based on observations obtained from the MBS study.
Dysphagia is classified into two distinct types: oropharyngeal dysphagia due to malfunction of the pharynx and upper esophageal sphincter; and esophageal dysphagia due to malfunction of the esophagus. Difficulty in swallowing. Difficulty swallowing.
A symptom referring to difficulty in swallowing. It may be observed in patients with stroke, motor neuron disorders, cancer of the throat or mouth, head and neck injuries, parkinson disease, and multiple sclerosis. Difficulty in swallowing which may result from neuromuscular disorder or mechanical obstruction.

In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
