Injuries are coded from Chapter 19 of ICD-10 titled “Injury, Poisoning, and Certain Other Consequences of External Causes” (codes S00-T88). These codes make up over 50% of all ICD-10 codes.

For codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character a placeholder 'X' should be assigned for all characters less than 6. The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier.

The ICD-10 transition is a mandate that applies to all parties covered by HIPAA, not just providers who bill Medicare or Medicaid.
On January 16, 2009, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released the final rule mandating that everyone covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) implement ICD-10 for medical coding.
On December 7, 2011, CMS released a final rule updating payers' medical loss ratio to account for ICD-10 conversion costs. Effective January 3, 2012, the rule allows payers to switch some ICD-10 transition costs from the category of administrative costs to clinical costs, which will help payers cover transition costs.

Rationale: In the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index look for Diabetes, diabetic (mellitus) (sugar)/type 2/with/peripheral angiopathy/with gangrene which directs you to code E11.52. This is a combination code that reports both the diabetic status of the patient and the complication due to the diabetic state. Note: ICD-10-CM guideline I.C.1.C.4.a.2 indicates that if the diabetic type is not documented the coder should default to type 2. Verify code selection in the Tabular List.
Rationale: In the CPT® Index look for Anesthesia/Heart which directs you to codes 00560-00567, 00580. Refer to the numeric section to determine that the code 00561 is the correct code for a child less than 1 year of age when a pump oxygenator is used. The parenthetical note under the code states it is not to be used with the qualifying circumstance codes of 99100, 99116 and 99135. In the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index look for Atresia/tricuspid valve which refer you to Q22.4. Verify code selection in the Tabular List.
