Subsegmental Pulmonary Embolism New ICD-10-CM codes have been created to identify single subsegmental pulmonary embolism without acute cor pulmonale (I26.93) and multiple subsegmental pulmonary emboli without acute cor pulmonale (I26.94). An embolus is a blood clot that most commonly originates in the veins of the legs (deep vein thrombosis).
Pulmonary embolism without acute cor pulmonale. I26.9 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM I26.9 became effective on October 1, 2018.

I26.93 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 I26.93 became effective on October 1, 2021.
I26. 93 - Single subsegmental pulmonary embolism without acute cor pulmonale. ICD-10-CM.
ICD-10 code I26. 9 for Pulmonary embolism without acute cor pulmonale is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Subsegmental pulmonary embolism (SSPE) affects the 4th division and more distal pulmonary arterial branches. SSPE can be isolated or affect multiple subsegments, be symptomatic or incidental (unsuspected) and may or may not be associated with deep vein thrombosis.
Guidelines on Treatment of Subsegmental PE A leading specialty society advises that patients with subsegmental PE without deep venous thrombosis receive anticoagulation if the risk of recurrence is high, and surveillance if recurrence risk is low.
ICD-10 code Z86. 711 for Personal history of pulmonary embolism is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
ICD-10 Code for Chronic pulmonary embolism- I27. 82- Codify by AAPC.
Small segmental or subsegmental PE are of importance in patients with limited cardiopulmonary reserve and for diagnosis of chronic pulmonary hypertension. They may be an indicator of silent deep venous thrombosis, which may predispose patients to more severe embolic events.
The term subsegmental atelectasis includes any loss of lung volume so small that it does not cause indirect signs of volume loss (as might be seen with larger atelectases).
Anticoagulation treatment should be administered immediately in all patients with a confirmed diagnosis of PE and in patients with a high clinical suspicion of acute PE who are awaiting the outcome of diagnostic tests provided there are no absolute contraindications such as active bleeding, haemorrhagic disease, severe ...
Bilateral massive pulmonary thromboembolism is a life-threatening condition wherein patients present with circulatory and respiratory collapse. These patients require either thrombolysis or an intervention such as thrombectomy performed by a specialized cardiovascular thoracic surgeon to obtain a good outcome.
Blood thinners or anticoagulants are the most common treatment for a blood clot in the lung. While hospitalized an injection is used, but this will be transitioned into a pill regimen when the patient is sent home.
Doctors split PE into three categories: acute, subacute, and chronic PE. The most common cause of PE is DVT, but genetic mutations and lifestyle factors, such as pregnancy, can also play a role in a person's risk.
Clinical Information. A pulmonary embolism is a sudden blockage in a lung artery. The cause is usually a blood clot in the leg called a deep vein thrombosis that breaks loose and travels through the bloodstream to the lung. Pulmonary embolism is a serious condition that can cause. permanent damage to the affected lung.
A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( I26) and the excluded code together. chronic pulmonary embolism (.
