Z09ICD-10 code Z09 for Encounter for follow-up examination after completed treatment for conditions other than malignant neoplasm is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
5) Document Z99. 2* (dependence on renal dialysis) for patients on dialysis after also documenting N18. 6 (end stage renal disease). These conditions must be documented together in the medical record.
Code N18. 6, end-stage renal disease, is to be reported for CKD that requires chronic dialysis. relationship between diabetes and CKD when both conditions are documented in the medical record.
Chronic kidney disease, stage 1 N18. 1 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 N18. 1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
N18. 31- Chronic Kidney Disease- stage 3a. N18. 32- Chronic Kidney Disease- stage 3b.
21 and E11. 22 have an excludes 1 notes therefore they can be coded together as long as a separate renal manifestation is present, I would just be careful when coding the actual renal condition as there are some renal codes that are excluded when using CKD codes.
6).” Code N18. 9 is not included in this range of codes and provides no further specificity. In this case, only E11. 22 would be needed for DM with CKD of unspecified stage.
If the provider had documented “ESRD due to diabetic nephropathy and hypertension,” the appropriate codes would have been E11. 21, Type 2 diabetes with diabetic nephropathy, I12. 0 Hypertensive chronic kidney disease with stage 5 chronic kidney disease, and N18.
ICD-10 code: E11. 22 Type 2 diabetes mellitus With renal complications With other multiple complications, controlled.
ICD-10 code N18. 9 for Chronic kidney disease, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the genitourinary system .
ICD-10 code: N18. 4 Chronic kidney disease, stage 4.
Documenting the stage of CKD—not the GFR—is vital for accurate coding. If the stage is not documented, then code 585.9, Chronic kidney disease, is assigned. If a provider documents both a stage of CKD and ESRD, then only the code for ESRD (585.6) is assigned.
Clinicians can report some Z codes as a primary diagnosis. ICD-10-CM guidelines list which Z codes are reportable only as the first listed diagnosis. However, most often, providers would be using the Z codes along with a primary diagnosis code that describes the illness or injury.
what are three reasons for the development of procedure codes? To track disease process, to classify the causes of death, to collect data for medical reason, and to evaluate hospital service ultilization.
In outpatient settings you do not code probable, possible, or rule out diagnosis. You could code the symptoms or the reason they came into the office.
Z codes are a special group of codes provided in ICD-10-CM for the reporting of factors influencing health status and contact with health services. Z codes (Z00–Z99) are diagnosis codes used for situations where patients don't have a known disorder.
A term referring to any disease affecting the kidneys. Conditions in which the function of kidneys deteriorates suddenly in a matter of days or even hours. It is characterized by the sudden drop in glomerular filtration rate. Impairment of health or a condition of abnormal functioning of the kidney.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM N28.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
This damage may leave kidneys unable to remove wastes. Causes can include genetic problems, injuries, or medicines. You are at greater risk for kidney disease if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a close family member with kidney disease. chronic kidney disease damages the nephrons slowly over several years.
Your kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of your fists. They are located near the middle of your back, just below the rib cage. Inside each kidney about a million tiny structures called nephrons filter blood. They remove waste products and extra water, which become urine.

Subcategory M50.1 describes cervical disc disorders. M50.12 Cervical disc disease that includes degeneration of the disc as a combination code. The 5th character differentiates various regions of the cervical spine (high cervical C2-3 and C3-4; mid-cervical C4-5, C5-6, and C6-7; cervicothoracic C7-T1 and the associated radiculopathies at each level). This is a combination code that includes the disc degeneration and radiculopathy
530.11 Reflux esophagitis is not coded when GERD is coded in ICD-9-CM because 530.11 is an “excluded code” from 530.81 in ICD-9-CM but it is a combination code in ICD-10-CM.
In ICD-10-CM, more than one code is required for patients with diabetic CKD. A combination code indicating the type of diabetes with diabetic CKD, along with a code identifying the stage of CKD.#N#Based on the type of diabetes, a code would be assigned: 1 For category N18, CKD, there is an instructional note to code first any associated diabetic CKD (E08.22, E09.22, E10.22, E11.22, E13.22). Category N18 would be reported after the diabetes code, as secondary, to specify the stage of CKD (N18.1-N18.6, N18.9). 2 It is also advised to use an additional code to identify dialysis status (Z99.2), if applicable. Code N18.6, end-stage renal disease, is to be reported for CKD that requires chronic dialysis. 3 In ICD-10-CM, there is an assumed cause and effect relationship between diabetes and CKD when both conditions are documented in the medical record. However, if documentation specifies that diabetes is not the underlying cause of CKD, it should not be coded as a diabetic complication.
If a complication resulting from the transplant (e.g., failure or rejection) is clearly documented, it would be appropriate to code the complication of kidney transplant from subcategory T86.1-.
For category N18, CKD, there is an instructional note to code first any associated diabetic CKD (E08.22, E09.22, E10.22, E11.22, E13.22). Category N18 would be reported after the diabetes code, as secondary, to specify the stage of CKD (N18.1-N18.6, N18.9).
Encounters where both a stage of CKD and ESRD are documented, report N18.6, only.
Diagnosing CKD involves identifying an individual’s glomerular filtration rate (GFR) which is a measure of their kidney function levels. These levels are defined as stages 1 through 5, increasing with severity (stage 5 = kidney failure).
It is also advised to use an additional code to identify dialysis status (Z99.2), if applicable. Code N18.6, end-stage renal disease, is to be reported for CKD that requires chronic dialysis.
Patients with a kidney transplant may still suffer some type of CKD as the transplant may not completely reinstate kidney function. Thus, having CKD alone does not mean that there is a transplant complication.
Hypertensive renal disease code because of the assumed association as the principal diagnosis
There are seven stages of CKD (0 through 5 and end stage renal disease), and these are determined by the GFR: Stage 0: GFR greater than or equal to 90 with CKD risk factors, no kidney damage. End-stage renal disease (ESRD): Patient has CKD and is on continuous dialysis (an MCC)
End-stage renal disease (ESRD): Patient has CKD and is on continuous dialysis (an MCC)
And it’s important to understand the difference between acute and chronic: If the patient has AKI, that means the condition is reversible; CKD means that it’s not reversible.
Uremic encephalopathy indicates the need for an emergent dialysis session, but there is no specific indexing for uremic encephalopathy as there is for pericarditis and neuropathy, Kline says. However the CKD code category in ICD-9-CM (585) has an instructional note to use an additional code to identify the manifestation of the uremia.
One situation for which it would be appropriate to assign CKD as the principal diagnosis is if it is an initial diagnosis of CKD and the cause is unknown, Kline says. Also, CKD may be coded as the principal diagnosis if the admission is for acute uremic symptoms or diagnoses such as pericarditis and neuropathy and encephalopathy.
When querying physicians to ask them for the stage, coders should provide the criteria for the various stages and not simply give them the diagnosis and the list of stages . “A lot of doctors may not know how the stages correlate, so to help facilitate their answer, give them the table, and then let them make their own calculation ,” Huff says.
ASSESSMENT/PLAN: Hypertension. CKD, stage 3a. The visit today was strictly counseling and coordinating care and a total face-to-face time of 40 minutes was spent with the patient discussing her condition, prognosis, outcomes, and referral to nephrology.
If your eGFR number is low, your kidneys are not working as well as they should. As chronic kidney disease (CKD) progresses, your eGFR number will decrease. eGFR levels below 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 for three or more months are indicative of CKD.
