2018/2019 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code R03.0. Elevated blood-pressure reading, without diagnosis of hypertension. R03.0 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
The ICD-10-CM is a morbidity classification published by the United States for classifying diagnoses and reason for visits in all health care settings. The ICD-10-CM is based on the ICD -10, the statistical classification of disease published by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Assign codes from combination category I13, Hypertensive heart and chronic kidney disease, when there is hypertension with both heart and kidney involvement. If heart failure is present, assign an additional code from category I50 to identify the type of heart failure. ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting FY 2022 Page 48 of 115
Status codes indicate that a patient is either a carrier of a disease or has the sequelae or residual of a past disease or condition. ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting FY 2021 Page 98 of 126 This includes such things as the presence of prosthetic or mechanical devices resulting from past treatment.

An ALT test measures the amount of ALT in the blood. When liver cells are damaged, they release ALT into the bloodstream. High levels of ALT in your blood may be a sign of a liver injury or disease. Some types of liver disease cause high ALT levels before you have symptoms of the disease.
Code R74. 0 Nonspecific elevation of levels of transaminase and lactic acid dehydrogenase [LDH], has been expanded to separately report elevation of levels of liver transminase (R74.

Causes of high ALP levels. ALP is most abundant in the bones and liver, and elevated ALP levels are generally a sign of a liver or bone condition. An obstruction of the liver or damage to it causes ALP levels to rise. Elevated levels can also result from an increase in bone cell activity.
An alkaline phosphatase (ALP) test measures the amount of ALP in your blood. Although ALP exists throughout your body, the two main sources of ALP in your blood are your liver and bones. High levels of ALP may indicate liver disease or certain bone disorders, but an ALP test alone cannot diagnose a condition.
Elevated liver enzymes often indicate inflammation or damage to cells in the liver. Inflamed or injured liver cells leak higher than normal amounts of certain chemicals, including liver enzymes, into the bloodstream, elevating liver enzymes on blood tests.
Serum enzymes and markers. Serum enzymes and markers are used to assist in the diagnosis of disease such as cancer or medical events like myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, or liver dysfunction. Serum enzymes can also show muscle tissue breakdown in the event of trauma or rhabdomyolysis.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM T62.91XA became effective on October 1, 2021.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
My last piece of advice relates to one of those coding-clinical disconnects. Hyperlactatemia is the way providers describe elevated lactate short of lactic acidosis. There is no indexing for hyperlactatemia. The ICD-10-CM indexing will take “excessive lacticemia” to E87.2. However, this is not a phrase that clinicians use. You may want to set up an internal coding guideline stating that your providers use “hyperlactatemia” to indicate “excessive lacticemia,” or set up an acronym expansion that outputs “hyperlactatemia, i.e., excessive lacticemia,” when the clinician types in “hyperlactatemia.”
Lactic acidosis is defined as lactate level > 4 mmol/L. There is often acidemia, which means the blood measures acidic (relative to normal pH of 7.4) with a pH < 7.35, but if compensatory mechanisms are not overwhelmed, the pH may be closer to normal.
The companion portion of the molecule to the hydrogen ion is called the conjugate base. Since the hydrogen ion is positively charged, the other portion is the anion; it is negatively charged. Lactate is the portion of lactic acid that remains after the positively charged hydrogen ion dissociates away.
Stronger acids have a high degree of ionization, so there are relatively more free hydrogen ions floating around. pH, standing for “power of hydrogen,” is a logarithmic scale representing how acidic or alkaline a solution is. pH is based on the concentration of H+ ions. A reading of 7.0 is considered neutral, but there are still hydrogen ions around, 10 -7 to be precise. Less than 7.0 is acidic, more than 7.0 is alkaline or basic. Normal body pH is 7.4.
A reading of 7.0 is considered neutral, but there are still hydrogen ions around, 10 -7 to be precise. Less than 7.0 is acidic, more than 7.0 is alkaline or basic. Normal body pH is 7.4. Those charged particles can interact chemically with other particles.
Genetic disorders of metabolism can have variable manifestations. If acidemia is part of the name of the condition and the condition is indexed below E87.2, acidosis should be considered inherent. Other inborn errors, however, may have lactic acidosis as a component.
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.
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:
When assigning a chapter 15 code for sepsis complicating abortion, pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium, a code for the specific type of infection should be assigned as an additional diagnosis. If severe sepsis is present, a code from subcategory R65.2, Severe sepsis, and code(s) for associated organ dysfunction(s) should also be assigned as additional diagnoses.
code from subcategory O9A.2, Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes complicating pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium, should be sequenced first, followed by the appropriate injury, poisoning, toxic effect, adverse effect or underdosing code, and then the additional code(s) that specifies the condition caused by the poisoning, toxic effect, adverse effect or underdosing.
Do not code diagnoses documented as “probable”, “suspected,” “questionable,” “rule out,” “compatible with,” “consistent with,” or “working diagnosis” or other similar terms indicating uncertainty. Rather, code the condition(s) to the highest degree of certainty for that encounter/visit, such as symptoms, signs, abnormal test results, or other reason for the visit.
The classification presumes a causal relationship between hypertension and heart involvement and between hypertension and kidney involvement, as the two conditions are linked by the term “with” in the Alphabetic Index. These conditions should be coded as related even in the absence of provider documentation explicitly linking them, unless the documentation clearly states the conditions are unrelated.
Condition is on the “Exempt from Reporting” list Leave the “present on admission” field blank if the condition is on the list of ICD-10-CM codes for which this field is not applicable . This is the only circumstance in which the field may be left blank.
There is also an instructional note under category C34 to use additional code for tobacco use. Code F17.210 is reported to indicate the patient is a smoker.
BMI codes should be reported as a secondary code only.
No, the influenza code, J11.1 also needs to be reported on the claim.
Review the codes to choose appropriate service. 24605 is the correct code because the patient was given general anesthesia for the procedure. Modifier 54 is appended to report the physician performed the surgical portion only. The patient is referred to an orthopedist for follow up or postoperative care.
A condition in which the blood is too acidic. It may be caused by severe illness or sepsis (bacteria in the bloodstream). A disorder characterized by abnormally high acidity (high hydrogen-ion concentration) of the blood and other body tissues. A pathologic condition of acid accumulation or depletion of base in the body. The two main types are respiratory acidosis and metabolic acidosis, due to metabolic acid build up. A state due to excess retention of carbon dioxide in the body. Acid base imbalance resulting from an accumulation of carbon dioxide secondary to hypoventilation. Acidosis caused by accumulation of lactic acid more rapidly than it can be metabolized. It may occur spontaneously or in association with diseases such as diabetes mellitus, leukemia, or liver failure. Acidosis caused by accumulation of lactic acid more rapidly than it can be metabolized; may occur spontaneously or in association with diseases such as diabetes mellitus, leukemia, or liver failure. An abnormal increase in the acidity of the body's fluids An abnormally high acidity (excess hydrogen-ion concentration) of the blood and other body tissues. An abnormally high acidity of the blood and other body tissues. Acidosis can be either respiratory or metabolic. Excess retention of carbon dioxide in the body resulting from ventilatory impairment. Increased acidity in the blood secondary to acid base imbalance. Causes include diabetes, kidney failure and shock. Metabolic acidosis characterized by the accumulation of lactate in the body. It is caused by tissue hypoxia. Pathologic condition resulting from accumulation of acid or depletion of the alkaline reserve (bicarbonate) content of the blood and body tissues, and characterized by an increase in hydrogen ion concentration (decrease in ph).
