Acute salpingitis. N70.01 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
ICD-10-CM guideline.I.B.8 states when the same condition is described as both acute and chronic and separate subentries exist, code both and sequence the acute code first. N30.00, N30.20 What is the ICD-10-CM code for nausea?
G09 contains an instructional note to code first the condition resulting from (sequela) of the inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system. Verify code selection in the Tabular List.
ICD-10-CM guideline I.A.9.b codes titled unspecified are for use when the information in the medical record is insufficient to assign a more specific code. The inclusion terms under H66.9 include NOS in the description.
ICD-10 code N70. 11 for Chronic salpingitis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the genitourinary system .
ICD-10-CM Code for Acute salpingitis and oophoritis N70. 0.
0 - Acute salpingitis and oophoritis.
Salpingitis is inflammation of the fallopian tubes, caused by bacterial infection. Common causes of salpingitis include sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhoea and chlamydia. Salpingitis is a common cause of female infertility because it can damage the fallopian tube.
Acute salpingitis is an infection of the fallopian tubes. These tubes carry the eggs from the ovary to the uterus. Pelvic pain is the main symptom of acute salpingitis.
ICD-10 code: K57. 92 Diverticulitis of intestine, part unspecified, without perforation, abscess or bleeding.
ICD-10-CM Code for Chronic salpingitis and oophoritis N70. 1.
Acute salpingitis and oophoritis N70. 03 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 N70. 03 became effective on October 1, 2021.
ICD-10 code: N73. 9 Female pelvic inflammatory disease, unspecified.
Acute and Chronic Salpingitis One or both tubes may fill with pus. In rare cases, they could rupture and cause peritonitis, a severe infection of the pelvic cavity. Chronic salpingitis is a milder form of the inflammation that lingers after acute salpingitis. It typically lasts longer but produces fewer symptoms.
Salpingitis is defined as inflammation of the fallopian tube, and it can be divided into three major types: acute, chronic (resolving), and granulomatous.
Salpingitis is a type of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID refers to an infection of the reproductive organs. It develops when harmful bacteria enter the reproductive tract.
The ‘S’ is added only to the injury code, not the sequela code. The seventh character ‘S’ identifies the injury responsible for the sequela. The specific type of sequela (e.g. scar) is sequenced first, followed by the injury code.”.
The sequela code may also be expanded at the fourth, fifth, or sixth character levels to include the manifestation
S93.412S Sprain of calcaneofibular ligament of the left ankle, sequela
There is no time limit on when a sequela code can be used. The residual effect may be present early or may occur months or years later. Two codes are generally required: one describing the nature of the sequela and one for the sequela. The code for the acute phase of the illness or injury is never reported with a code for the late effect.
Rationale: Scar contractures due to burn injury are reported with code L90.5 that is the first-listed or principal diagnosis and the burn injury is reported as a secondary code to identify the cause of the sequela.
Rationale: The complete paraplegia is a sequela of the burst fracture of the T3 vertebral fracture and resulting spinal cord injury.
Septic shock with acute organ dysfunction due to group a streptococcus. Septic shock with acute organ dysfunction due to group b streptococcus. Septic shock with acute organ dysfunction due to meningococcal septicemia.
The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM R65.21 became effective on October 1, 2020.
Septic shock with acute organ dysfunction. Septic shock with acute organ dysfunction due to anaerobic septicemia. Septic shock with acute organ dysfunction due to chromobacterium. Septic shock with acute organ dysfunction due to coagulate-negative staphylococcu.
Look for Syncope in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index. You are referred to R55. Review the code in the Tabular List to verify the code accuracy.
Rationale: Look in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index for Headache. You can also find the code by going to Pain/head. There is no further description making R51 the correct code. Verify code selection in the Tabular List
Rationale: Look in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index for Salpingitis/gonococcal (acute) (chronic) A54.24. Look for A54.24 in the Tabular List. You only need to report one code for this diagnosis. Under code N70 there is an Excludes1 instructional note that lists gonococcal infection (A54.24) which indicates that no codes from the N70 category should be reported for this diagnosis.
The main term is infarction. In the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index, look for Infarct, infarction/myocardium, myocardial (acute) (with stated duration of 4 weeks or less) I21.9. Refer to the Tabular List. This is the correct code, even though there is no stated duration in the question, because code I21.9 lists Myocardial infarction (acute) NOS under the code. Note: There is a category note for I21 to use additional code, if applicable, to identify exposure to, use of, dependence of tobacco, or status post tPA in another facility. This is coded if known.
Determine the main term which is headache. In the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index, look for Headache/migraine (type) (see also Migraine). In the same index look for Migraine (idiopathic)/without aura/chronic/not intractable/with status migrainosus directs you to code G43.701. Review the code in the Tabular List to verify the code accuracy.
The main term is ruptured. From the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index look for Rupture, ruptured/spleen/nontraumatic. You are referred to D73.5. Review the code in the Tabular List to verify the code accuracy. The diagnosis documents the rupture of the spleen was not due an injury, also called nontraumatic. Splenic rupture, nontraumatic is listed as an inclusion term under D73.5.
R10.13The main term is pain. In the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index, look for Pain/epigastric, epigastrium. You are referred to R10.13. Review the code in the Tabular List to verify the code accuracy.
According to the ICD-10-CM guideline 1.B.1 both the Alphabetical Index and Tabular List are used to locate and assign a code. Reliance on only the Alphabetic Index or the Tabular List will lead to errors and less specificity in reporting codes.
Look in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index for Salpingitis/gonococcal (acute) (chronic) A54.24. Look for A54.24 in the Tabular List. You only need to report one code for this diagnosis. Under code N70 there is an Excludes1 for gonococcal infection (A54.24). An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note.
Look in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index for Otitis/media/chronic/serous which states see Otitis, media, nonsuppurative, chronic, serous. Look for Otitis/media/nonsuppurative/chronic/serous which directs the coder to H65.2-. In the Tabular List, 5th character 3 is selected for bilateral.
Look in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index for Bronchitis/with/influenza, flu or grippe which states to see Influenza, with, respiratory manifestations NEC. Look for Influenza/with/respiratory manifestations NEC J11.1. Verify code selection in the Tabular List.
In the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index look for Polyneuropathy/in (due to) deficiency (of)/B (-complex) vitamins guiding you to codes E53.9
Look in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index Pain/low back and you are directed to M54.5. Verify code selection in the Tabular List.
Look in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index for Fracture/wrist which directs the coder to S62.10-. In the Tabular List the 6 th character 1 is selected for the right wrist. This code also indicates a 7 th character is required. A is selected for the initial encounter.
