Hypertension in chronic kidney disease with end stage renal disease on dialysis due to type 2 diabetes mellitus hypertensive chronic kidney disease ( I12.-, I13.-) Reimbursement claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015 require the use of ICD-10-CM codes.
The code categories 403 and 250.6 specify to add the additional codes therefore you do need the nephropathy and the CKD codes. Diabetes mellitus (250) is one of a number of disease categories in ICD-9-CM in which the basic disease category serves as the primary code to classify both the disease and its major manifestations.
Diabetes with CKD-3 Hypertension Code: E11.22 N18.3 I10 Rationale/opion given is that the physician has linked the DM and CKD utilizing the word "with" and coding guideline for "with" should be interpreted as "associated or due to" Similar question Diagnosis Diabetes with CKD-3 Hypertension Chronic diastolic CHF Code: E11.22 N18.3 I11.0 I50.32

ICD-10 Code for Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic nephropathy- E11. 21- Codify by AAPC.
Per our recent Humana audit, it was indicated that diabetes and hypertension have an assumed relationship and it should be coded as E11. 59 (for type 2 diabetic.)
It is true you wouldn't code both. Diabetic nephropathy is a specific subset of CKD. It is an advanced renal disease due to microvascular damage from hyperglycemia, manifested by proteinuria.
Nephropathy induced by unspecified drug, medicament or biological substance. N14. 2 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 N14.
E11. 69 - Type 2 diabetes mellitus with other specified complication. ICD-10-CM.
E11. 69 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 E11. 69 became effective on October 1, 2021.
So yes, use the appropriate combination codes, being E11. 22, I12. 9 and N18. 3.
21 and E11. 22 have an excludes 1 notes therefore they can be coded together as long as a separate renal manifestation is present, I would just be careful when coding the actual renal condition as there are some renal codes that are excluded when using CKD codes.
If hypertension, heart failure and chronic kidney disease are all documented, use a combination code from category I13 — hypertensive heart and chronic kidney disease. These are just a few examples of conditions that have an assumed causal relationship in ICD-10-CM.
ICD-10 code I12. 9 for Hypertensive chronic kidney disease with stage 1 through stage 4 chronic kidney disease, or unspecified chronic kidney disease is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
ICD-10 code Z99. 11 for Dependence on respirator [ventilator] status is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
The body system (s) affected 3. The complications affecting the body system (s) When coding diabetes mellitus, you should use as many codes from categories E08-E13* as necessary to describe all of the complications and associated conditions of the disease.
Diabetesandhigh blood pressure are the two main causes of CKD. Diabetes causes damage to many organs, including the kidneys and heart, as well as blood vessels, nerves and eyes. High blood pressure , or hypertension, if poorly controlled, is a leading cause of heart attacks, strokes and CKD.
When you look up "diabetic nephropathy" in the index the code listed is 250.4 (583.81) . The 250.4 needs an extra digit. When you go to 250.4 in the tabular, it tells you what fifth digit to assign in the box. Also, after 250.4, it says "use addition code to identify manifestation" which in this case, it would be nephropathy (583.81) . When you look up 583.81 in the tabular, it directs you to "code first underlying disease" (which is diabetes with renal manifestations.)
The appropriate code from category 585, chronic kidney disease should be used as a secondary code with a code from category 403 to identify the stage of chronic kidney disease.?
Assign code 250.40, Diabetes with renal manifestations, type II [non-insulin dependent type] [NIDDM type] [adult-onset type] or unspecified type, not stated as uncontrolled, and code 403.91, Hypertensive renal disease, with renal failure, for diabetic nephropathy with chronic renal failure and hypertension. Diabetes mellitus is one of several disease categories in ICD-9-CM where one code classifies both the disease and its manifestations. Additional codes may be assigned to further describe the manifestations. The following diagnoses: diabetic renal failure, diabetic uremia, diabetic intercapillary glomerulosclerosis and chronic renal failure, diabetic nephropathy with chronic renal failure, or diabetic nephrosis with chronic renal failure provide a cause-and-effect relationship, requiring that code 250.4X, Diabetes with renal manifestations, be sequenced first.
If you look at 585 category in the tabular, it says "code first, hypertensive CKD if applicable" and directs you to 403.00-403.91.
ICD-9-CM assumes a cause-and-effect relationship and classifies chronic renal failure with hypertension as hypertensive renal disease. At category 403, the note reads "any condition classifiable to 585, 586, 587 with any condition classifiable to 401." This wording indicates that the linkage is so compelling when both conditions are present (hypertension and chronic or unspecified renal failure) that hypertensive renal disease is coded. Therefore, if the physician has not indicated "CRF not due to hypertension," code 403.91, Hypertensive renal disease, unspecified, with renal failure, would be assigned.
Note: All neoplasms, whether functionally active or not, are classified in Chapter 2. Appropriate codes in this chapter (i.e. E05.8, E07.0, E16-E31, E34.-) may be used as additional codes to indicate either functional activity by neoplasms and ectopic endocrine tissue or hyperfunction and hypofunction of endocrine glands associated with neoplasms and other conditions classified elsewhere.
The coding clinic does not state to not code the 585.- code it is clarifying that you do use the the 250.40 and the 403.91 together. The code categories 403 and 250.6 specify to add the additional codes therefore you do need the nephropathy and the CKD codes.
In the next related question, the patient has acute pyelonephritis and nephrolithiasis, and the advice is to use two codes: N10, Acute pyelonephritis, and N 20.0, Calculus of kidney.
If the provider had documented “ESRD due to diabetic nephropathy and hypertension,” the appropriate codes would have been E11.21, Type 2 diabetes with diabetic nephropathy, I12.0 Hypertensive chronic kidney disease with stage 5 chronic kidney disease, and N18.6, End-stage renal disease. It is often difficult to sort out which disease process is the dominant cause, and likely, they both have an impact and share responsibility. In this case, however, the provider linked the ESRD to diabetes and listed hypertension as a separate diagnosis, so I agree with not assuming linkage.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is often multifactorial, and the combination of diabetes and hypertension often leads to CKD. In fact, control of blood pressure in the presence of diabetes is considered more important than glycemic control (see Diabetic Kidney Disease: Chronic Kidney Disease and Diabetes, by Jerry Yee, ...
It is true you wouldn’t code both. Diabetic nephropathy is a specific subset of CKD. It is an advanced renal disease due to microvascular damage from hyperglycemia, manifested by proteinuria. I again refer you to the article referenced above; diabetic kidney disease includes diabetic nephropathy and other parenchymal kidney diseases, ...
