2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S07.1XXD S07.1XXD 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 S07.1XXD became effective on October 1, 2021.
Subsequent Indicates Recovery. ICD-10-CM defines subsequent encounters as “encounters after the patient has received active treatment of the injury and is receiving routine care for the injury during the healing or recovery phase.
ICD-10-CM introduces a third concept, sequelae, which applies to conditions that occur after subsequent treatment and after the acute phase of a disease or injury.. The ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines define the initial encounter diagnosis coding as the one to use "while the patient is receiving active treatment for the condition."
While the term “Cushing syndrome” can be applied to any cause of hypercortisolism, “Cushing disease” refers specifically to secondary hypercortisolism that results from excessive production of ACTH by pituitary adenomas.
Differential diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome involves: plasma ACTH level determination, high dose dexamethasone testing, metyrapone testing, testing with CRH, testing with vasopressin or combination, and finally, bilateral simultaneous petrosal sinus sampling with CRH stimulation.
Your body's own overproduction (endogenous Cushing syndrome) The condition can be due to your body producing either too much cortisol or too much adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which regulates cortisol production. In these cases, Cushing syndrome may be related to: A pituitary gland tumor (pituitary adenoma).
Abstract. Cyclic Cushing's syndrome (CS) is a rare disorder, characterized by repeated episodes of cortisol excess interspersed by periods of normal cortisol secretion. The so-called cycles of hypercortisolism can occur regularly or irregularly with intercyclic phases ranging from days to years.
Cushing disease is a specific type of Cushing syndrome. It occurs when a pituitary tumor causes the body to make too much cortisol. Cushing disease is the most common form of endogenous (from the body) Cushing syndrome, and makes up about 70% of Cushing syndrome cases.
A midnight serum cortisol level of less than 7.5 µg/dL has 96% sensitivity and 100% specificity in differentiating pseudo-Cushing from true CS. Measurement of late-night salivary cortisol concentrations is increasingly used as a screening test in suspected CS.
Exogenous Cushing syndrome occurs when a person takes man-made (synthetic) glucocorticoid medicines to treat a disease. These medicines act like cortisol in the body. Glucocorticoids are given for many diseases, such as lung diseases, skin conditions, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer, brain tumors, and joint disease.
Pseudo-Cushing's syndrome covers different pathological conditions responsible for mild-to-moderate ACTH-dependent hypercortisolism, related not to an ACTH-secreting tumor but rather to CRH and/or AVP hypothalamic secretion through activation of various neural pathways, in patients generally displaying excess central ...
The most common cause of Cushing's syndrome is the long-term, high-dose use of the cortisol-like glucocorticoids. These medicines are used to treat other medical conditions, such as asthma link, rheumatoid arthritis link, and lupus link. Glucocorticoids are often injected into a joint to treat pain.
The term subclinical Cushing's syndrome (SCS) is commonly used to define a condition characterized by subtle cortisol hypersecretion from an adrenal tumor without signs or symptoms of overt Cushing's syndrome (CS). 1. SCS accounts for ∼5–20% of incidentally discovered adrenal masses (adrenal incidentalomas).
Cyclic Cushing's syndrome (also known as intermittent or periodic) is a disease characterized by periods of transient hypercortisolemia shifting into periods of normo- and/or hypocortisolemia.
The best screening test for Cushing's syndrome is a 24-hour urine collection with analysis for urinary free cortisol excretion.
Endogenous cushing syndrome or spontaneous hypercortisolism is divided into two groups, those due to an excess of adrenocorticotropin and those that are acth-independent. A condition in which there is too much cortisol (a hormone made by the outer layer of the adrenal gland) in the body.
In cushing disease, this happens when an adenoma (benig n tumor) in the pituitary gland makes too much adrenocorticotropic hormone (acth). This causes the adrenal gland to make too much cortisol.
A rare hormonal disease that occurs when the body produces too much of the hormone cortisol. A syndrome caused by high levels of cortisol in the blood either due to excessive production and secretion of corticosteroids secondary to pituitary or adrenocortical neoplasms, or intake of glucocorticoid drugs.
galactorrhea ( N64.3) gynecomastia ( N62) Disorders of other endocrine glands. Clinical Information. A condition caused by prolonged exposure to excess levels of cortisol (hydrocortisone) or other glucocorticoids from endogenous or exogenous sources. It is characterized by upper body obesity; osteoporosis; hypertension; diabetes mellitus;
Symptoms include a round face, thin arms and legs, severe fatigue and muscle weakness, high blood pressure and high blood sugar, purple or pink stretch marks on the skin, and weight gain, especially in the abdomen. A rare hormonal disease that occurs when the body produces too much of the hormone cortisol.
E24 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM E24 became effective on October 1, 2020. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of E24 - other international versions of ICD-10 E24 may differ. Type 1 Excludes.
Sometimes, taking synthetic hormone medicine to treat an inflammatory disease leads to cushing's. Some kinds of tumors produce a hormone that can cause your body to make too much cortisol.cushing's syndrome is rare. Some symptoms are.
If the cause is a tumor, surgery and other therapies may be needed. Codes. E24 Cushing's syndrome. E24.0 Pituitary-dependent Cushing's disease.

Cushing syndrome may be caused by taking too many steroid drugs or by certain types of tumors. Tumors that make adrenocorticotropic hormone (acth) cause the adrenal gland to make too much cortisol.
It is characterized by upper body obesity; osteoporosis; hypertension; diabetes mellitus; hirsutism; amenorrhea; and excess body fluid.

ICD-10-CM says the seventh character S is “for use for complications or conditions that arise as a direct result of an injury, such as scar formation after a burn. The scars are sequelae of the burn.” In other words, sequela are the late effects of an injury.#N#Perhaps the most common sequela is pain. Many patients receive treatment long after an injury has healed as a result of pain. Some patients might never have been treated for the injury at all. As time passes, the pain becomes intolerable and the patient seeks a pain remedy.#N#A late effect can occur only after the acute phase of the injury or illness has passed; therefore, you cannot report a code for the acute illness and a code for the late effect at the same encounter, for the same patient. The only exception occurs if both conditions exist (for example, the patient has a current cerebrovascular condition and deficits from an old cerebrovascular condition).#N#When reporting sequela (e), you usually will need to report two codes. The first describes the condition or nature of the sequela (e) and second the second describes the sequela (e) or “late effect.” For example, you may report M81.8 Other osteoporosis without current pathological fracture with E64.8 Sequelae of other nutritional deficiencies (calcium deficiency).#N#If a late effect code describes all of the relevant details, you should report that one code, only (e.g., I69.191 Dysphagia following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage ).#N#For example: A patient suffers a low back injury that heals on its own. The patient isn’t seeking intervention for the initial injury, but for the pain that persists long after. The chronic pain is sequela of the injury. Such a visit may be reported as G89.21 Chronic pain due to trauma and S39.002S Unspecified injury of muscle, fascia and tendon of lower back, sequela.

ICD-10-CM defines subsequent encounters as “encounters after the patient has received active treatment of the injury and is receiving routine care for the injury during the healing or recovery phase. Examples of subsequent care are: cast change or removal, removal of external or internal fixation device, medication adjustment, other aftercare and follow up visits following injury treatment.”#N#A seventh character “D” is appropriate during the recovery phase, no matter how many times he has seen the provider for this problem, previously.#N#Note that ICD-10-CM guidelines do not definitively establish when “active treatment” becomes “routine care.” Active treatment occurs when the provider sees the patient and develops a plan of care. When the patient is following the plan, that is subsequent. If the provider needs to adjust the plan of care—for example, if the patient has a setback or must returns to the OR—the care becomes active, again.
