Codes for sinusitis are located in ICD-10-CM Chapter 10 , Diseases of the Respiratory System (category J00-J99). There are important concepts to consider when documenting sinusitis; the selected codes will identify the affected sinus and time parameter (acute, chronic or recurrent).
When the term Sinusitis with the subterms acute or chronic, affecting more than one sinus other than pansinusitis, is referenced in the Alphabetic Index, it sends the user to the other sinusitis codes J01, Acute; other sinusitis and J32 Chronic; other sinusitis.
When your physician diagnoses acute sinusitis today, you only need to know the affected sinus in order to choose the correct code. Code family 461.x represents acute sinusitis, with the fourth digit specifying the location:
Report acute sinusitis involving more than one sinus – but not pansinusitis – with ICD-10 code J01.80 or J01.81. The other category includes two sinuses, but not the three sinuses needed to qualify for pansinusitis
If your physician doesn’t specify the particular sinus, you’ll report either J01.90 ( Acute sinusitis, unspecified) or J01.91 ( Acute recurrent sinusitis, unspecified ).
The two main classifications of sinusitis are “acute” and “chronic.” Some health groups, such as the NIH National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, also specify categories for “subacute” and “recurrent.” The NIH definitions are as follows:
Bottom line: Although ICD-10 will include some additional diagnoses for acute and chronic sinusitis, your physician should already be noting the relevant details in his patients’ charts. That means your practice hopefully is already prepared for any documentation you’ll need to select the more detailed codes.
Sinusitis is a common condition for otolaryngologists to treat, but all situations are not the same. Get a firm understanding of the different types of sinusitis, then take a look at how you’ll report them when ICD-10 goes into effect.
You can report both acute and chronic conditions together in ICD-10, so a patient can be diagnosed with both acute sinusitis and chronic sinusitis. The acute condition should be ordered first, with the chronic condition ordered second.
