I agree with you that there is no requirement in the guidelines or instructional notes to code Z79.4 for insulin use with the codes for Type I diabetes as there is for Type 2. However, if the provider has documented insulin dependence as a factor relevant to the encounter, then per the guidelines it should be coded.

E10 Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. ICD-10 Codes for Diabetes, E10 is a code to code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the eight child codes of E10 that describes the diagnosis ‘type 1 diabetes Mellitus in more detail.
Medical Billers and Coders January 2, 2020. 0 1,602 3 minutes read. Diabetes means your blood glucose or blood sugar is too high. With type 1 diabetes, your pancreas does not make insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose get into your cells to give them energy. Without insulin, too much glucose stays in your blood.
Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State (HHS) Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) is a complication of diabetes mellitus (predominantly type 2) in which high blood sugars cause severe dehydration, increases in osmolar ity (relative concentration of solute) and a high risk of complications, coma, and death. It is diagnosed with blood tests.
For gestational diabetes (diabetes that occurs during pregnancy) women should be assigned a code under the 024.4 subheading and not any other codes under the 024 category.
If the type of diabetes that the patient has is not documented in the medical record, E11 codes for type 2 diabetes should be used as a default. If the medical record doesn’t say what type of diabetes the patient has but indicates that the patient uses insulin, the Type 2 diabetes codes should also be used.
The code for long-term use of insulin, Z79.4, should also be used in these cases (unless insulin was just given to the patient as a one-time fix to bring blood sugar under control). Note that the word “with” in the code titles always means “associated with” or “due to” (it doesn’t refer to two disparate conditions).
It is related to diabetic ketoacidosis ( DKA), another complication of diabetes more often (but not exclusively) encountered in people with type 1 diabetes; they are differentiated with measurement of ketone bodies, organic molecules that are the underlying driver for DKA but are usually not detectable in HHS.
In many situations, CPT and HCPCS II codes must be used together to completely describe a service. In particular, CPT codes indicate the procedure performed and HCPCS II codes identify the specific device, supply, DME, or drug utilized in the procedure.
HCPCS Level II Codes. HCPCS II codes are a supplement to CPT ® codes. 7 Although some HCPCS II codes are for procedures and services not classified in CPT, the majority of HCPCS II codes are for supplies, durable medical equipment (DME), drugs, and medical devices.
Codes related to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) differentiate between the technical service of sensor placement and patient training, performed by office staff, and the professional service of interpreting the CGM data, performed by clinicians. For the technical service, different codes are assigned depending on whether the patient or the physician practice owns the CGM equipment.
Medication status is only coded in a secondary position, following the code for diabetes mellitus. 6. Code Z79.4 can also be assigned to a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus who routinely uses insulin for control. If a patient is treated with both oral hypoglycemic agents and insulin, only Z79.4 is assigned.
Diabetes education may consist of patient management to begin insulin pump therapy (also called continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion or CSII) as it relates to insulin, such as carb ratios, basal rates, sick day management, or insulin sensitivity for correction factor. Medical nutrition therapy specifically focuses on dietary intervention to ensure eating habits are appropriate for persons with diabetes. For Medicare, diabetes self-management training and medical nutrition therapy are completely separate benefits.
There are no specific CPT codes for insulin pump starts. Separate from an insulin pump start or related training, however, Evaluation and Management (E/M) codes may be appropriate if health care services were provided by a physician (or other practitioner) to a patient before, during, or after the training.
For insulin pumps and personal continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), this is typically a DME supplier. Some items have more than one code. For example, a device may have an E-code as well as an S-code. This reflects payer preference, as only private payers use S-codes although private payers may also use E-codes.
I'm not aware of any new Coding Clinic guidance on this. I agree with you that there is no requirement in the guidelines or instructional notes to code Z79.4 for insulin use with the codes for Type I diabetes as there is for Type 2. However, if the provider has documented insulin dependence as a factor relevant to the encounter, then per the guidelines it should be coded. Also, some organizations may wish this to be captured for reporting purposes if the record shows that the patient is currently using insulin.
Type 1 Diabetes is an insulin dependent disease and therefore Z79.4. would not coded because this is what I was taught but got back a screen shot from. Coding Clinic Q3, 2013 which states "Long term use of insulin may also be assigned" for Diabetes Type 1. T.
Codes for gestational diabetes are in subcategory O24.4. These codes include treatment modality — diet alone, oral hypoglycemic drugs, insulin — so you do not need to use an additional code to specify medication management. Do not assign any other codes from category O24 with the O24.4 subcategory codes.
The pancreas responds by making more insulin to try and manage the hyperglycemia , but eventually, the pancreas can’t keep up and blood sugar levels rise. Left uncontrolled, the disease progresses into prediabetes and, eventually, type 2 diabetes.
Secondary diabetes — DM that results as a consequence of another medical condition — is addressed in Chapter 4 guidelines. These codes, found under categories E08, E09, and E13, should be listed first, followed by the long-term therapy codes for insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents.
The guidelines state that if the type of diabetes is not documented, the default is type 2. The guidelines also instruct to use additional codes to identify long-term control with insulin (Z79.4) or oral hypoglycemic drugs (Z79.84). You would not assign these codes for short-term use of insulin or oral medications to bring down a patient’s blood ...
If a pregnant woman has pre-existing diabetes that complicates the pregnancy, Chapter 15 guidelines instruct us to assign a code from O24 first, followed by the appropriate diabetes code (s) from Chapter 4 (E08–E13). Report codes Z79.4 or Z79.84 if applicable.
This is called insulin resistance, which causes high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia).
This elevation in blood sugar signals the pancreas to release insulin, a hormone that acts like a key to enable the glucose to enter the body’s cells so it can be used as an energy source. Lack of insulin or inability of glucose to enter the cells causes sugar to build up in the blood, which, over time, can lead to complications. ...
