What is the ICD 10 code for long term use of anticoagulants? Z79.01. What is the ICD 10 code for medication monitoring? Z51.81. How do you code an eye exam with Plaquenil? Here’s the coding for a patient taking Plaquenil for RA:Report M06. 08 for RA, other, or M06. Report Z79. 899 for Plaquenil use for RA.Always report both.
The new codes are for describing the infusion of tixagevimab and cilgavimab monoclonal antibody (code XW023X7), and the infusion of other new technology monoclonal antibody (code XW023Y7).

Gangrene is dead tissue (necrosis) consequent to ischemia. In the image above, we can see a black area on half of the big toe in a diabetic patient. This black area represents necrosis—dead tissue—in fact, gangrene of the big toe.
E11. 52 Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic peripheral angiopathy with gangrene.
621, Foot ulcer, and directly beneath that, code E11. 52, Gangrene.
262 - Atherosclerosis of native arteries of extremities with gangrene, left leg.
Necrosis is commonly documented in the patient records with traumatic wounds, burns, pressure sores etc. Necrosis due to lack of oxygen such as with a MI would be considered part of the MI code as would any necrosis with infection in pneumonia. Gangrene would seem to be a complication of necrotic tissue.

I96 has an Excludes 2 for gangrene in diabetes mellitus, and the Alphabetic Index instructs us that Type 2 diabetes “with gangrene” goes to E11.52, according to the assumptive rule. The coding guidelines remind us of the “basic rule of coding…that further research must be done when the title of the code suggested by the Alphabetic Index clearly ...
