Other dental procedure status 1 Z98.818 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM Z98.818 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z98.818 - other international versions of ICD-10 Z98.818 may differ.
If a surgery goes to hospital to perform an outpatient surgery and the surgery is cancelled due to health issues, ex:high glucose, what code can the surgeon (not the facility) bill for his time going to hospital to perform surgery? Is this ASC? If so, you can look at billing the surgery code with either the modifier 73 or 74 as appropriate.
With the changes in electronic submission standards to ANSI 5010 in 2012 along with the new ADA claim form from the same year (J430), there is now an ability to submit up to four diagnosis codes on a dental claim. In fact, there are approximately 36 dental payers to date that are in the process of testing ICD10 for situational purposes.
There is also a set of ICD-9 V-codes for procedures canceled at ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs). These V-codes are never used alone and cannot designate a principal diagnosis. They are reported along with the CPT/HCPCS code for the procedure (and the appropriate modifier) and the ICD-9 code for the reason the procedure was aborted.

Z53. 20 - Procedure and treatment not carried out because of patient's decision for unspecified reasons | ICD-10-CM.
ICD-10 code R68. 89 for Other general symptoms and signs is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Modifier 53Modifier 53 — Discontinued Procedure Add this modifier to a surgical or diagnostic procedure code when the physician elects to terminate the procedure due to the patient's well-being.
Modifier 53 applies if the provider quits a procedure because the patient is at risk. In other words, the provider does not so much choose to discontinue the procedure, as sound medical practice compels him or her to do so.
What type of situation would NOT meet the informed consent requirements? The patient signs a treatment consent form. If a licensed healthcare professional oversteps his or her scope of practice.

Categories Z40-Z53 are intended for use to indicate a reason for care. They may be used for patients who have already been treated for a disease or injury, but who are receiving aftercare or prophylactic care, or care to consolidate the treatment, or to deal with a residual state. Type 2 Excludes.
Encounters for other specific health care (Z40-Z53) Categories Z40-Z53 are intended for use to indicate a reason for care. They may be used for patients who have already been treated for a disease or injury, but who are receiving aftercare or prophylactic care, or care to consolidate the treatment, or to deal with a residual state.
at that point it depends on the third party payer.#N#For instance Medicare won't pay ASC surgeries that were canceled prior to starting the surgery (or providing anesthesia). Now this case is an outpatient surgery so you will be looking at modifier 73 if you were going to apply any. Since it will be based on the payer's policies it's hard to say if you would use the actual surgery code with that modifier, or if no bill will be created.#N#Best route will be to verify the insurance policies.
On the other hand, if anesthesia has been administered before the case is canceled or terminated, the hospital would provide routine post-op care and bill for the inpatient procedure even though it hadn’t been completed.
If cancelation is a frequent occurrence, the hospital should determine whether there is a faulty process to blame. Are preregistered patients contacted a day or two prior to a scheduled procedure to be sure they still are planning to undergo the procedure? Have their conditions changed? Are there any acute illnesses, such as cold or flu, which might result in cancelation on arrival? Has the patient received clear instructions on how to prepare for the surgery, such as being NPO or using an anti-staph soap? Pre-op attention to detail can prevent many last-minute cancelations.
For diagnostic tests and procedures for which anesthesia is not required, the hospital may bill using the usual billing codes, simply adding Modifier -52 to the CPT code “to indicate partial reduction, cancellation or discontinuation .” The medical record must document the medical reason the procedure was aborted, because the hospital is not eligible for payment if the patient fails to arrive for the test or just decides not to undergo the procedure. According to APCs Weekly Monitor (the March 16, 2012 edition), “this documentation is crucial to support the resources being reported and to document the clinical/medical reason that necessitated the cancellation of the service.” Modifier -52 also can be used when a physician intends to perform a bilateral procedure but only performs one side. The modifier is not required, however, when the procedure is listed as “bilateral or unilateral” because the payment would be the same. Transmittal 2386 explains further that “Modifier -53 is used to indicate discontinuation of physician services and is not approved for use for outpatient hospital services.”
When a procedure is terminated due to circumstances that threaten the well-being of the patient or other extenuating circumstances (for example, failure of a critical piece of O.R. equipment) occurring after the administration of anesthesia, or after the procedure is started, Modifier -74 is used. Transmittal 2386 explains that Modifier -74 “may also be used to indicate that a planned surgical or diagnostic procedure was discontinued, partially reduced or cancelled at the physician’s discretion after the administration of anesthesia.” The same broad definition of anesthesia is applied. If the procedure is discontinued after the patient has received anesthesia or after the procedure has been started (i.e., “scope inserted, intubation started, incision made,” etc.) the hospital is paid the full OPPS amount.
CPT Modifiers -73 and -74 are used when a procedure requiring anesthesia is not completed.
Billing with the above modifiers is allowed only when there are clinical or “extenuating circumstances” that prevent completion of procedures. Transmittal 2386 explains that “the elective cancellation of a procedure (such as a patient not showing up or changing his/her mind) should not be reported.”
V64.1: Surgical or other procedure not carried out because of contraindication. V64.2: Surgical or other procedure not carried out because of patient’s decision . V64.3: Procedure not carried out for other reasons.
What is ICD-10? In the late nineteenth century, French Physician Jacques Bertillon introduced a classification standard for the medical community to track causes of death. Quickly adopted by many countries, it eventually morphed into the International Classification of Causes of Death.
chose not to adopt them for tracking morbidity until the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) proposed that a similar Clinical Modification version go into effect on October 1, 2013. The new standard was subsequently delayed twice, with the new implementation date now firm at October 1, 2015.
In addition, the same medical cross-coding capabilities in previous Dentrix versions will continue to be available, but Dentrix will now allow you to map to both the ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM code sets.
