What is the ICD 10 diagnosis code for ongoing follow up in Primary care office, still under treatment from specialties. Ex: Pt has muliple problems (S/P CVA, Seizure disorder, Mental health etc.,) and getting the treatment from speclialty clinics and come to see Primary care every 3-6 months (Periodically chekup) Z09 Or Z51.8?
I'll simply reference the 2020 ICD-10-CM guide lines and code descriptions. Consider the I63 Excludes 2 note for "Sequelae of cerebral infarction (I69.3-)". This makes some sense if I63 codes are for the acute phase of the CVA. Consider in the Guidelines Section I, B, 10.
Encounter for follow-up examination after completed treatment for conditions other than malignant neoplasm. Z09 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM Z09 became effective on October 1, 2019.
Sequela of Stroke – Other deficits ICD-10-CM code ICD-10-CM description I69.30 Unspecified sequela of cerebral infarction I69.31-Cognitive deficits following cerebral infarction Add 6th character for specific cognitive deficit separation I69.320 Aphasia following cerebral infarction I69.321 Dysphasia following cerebral infarction
Once the patient is discharged, it is not appropriate to code for the cerebral infarction. Instead, you would code any and all residual deficits the patient has.
Other sequelae of cerebral infarction The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I69. 398 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I69. 398 - other international versions of ICD-10 I69.
Z86. 73 - Personal history of transient ischemic attack (TIA), and cerebral infarction without residual deficits | ICD-10-CM.
“Weakness” is code 728.87 ICD-9, M62. 81 ICD-10, which is NOT A HCC.
Once the patient is discharged, it is not appropriate to code for the cerebral infarction. Instead, you would code any and all residual deficits the patient has. If the patient does not have any cerebral infarction deficits, you can apply the ICD-10 code Z86.
Residual symptoms after transient ischaemic attack (TIA) The symptoms of a TIA are similar to that of stroke, but they may only last a short while, certainly no more than 24 hours. If symptoms last longer than 24 hours but are mild usually this would be defined as a 'minor stroke'.
Code category I69* (Sequelae of cerebrovascular disease) specifies the type of stroke that caused the sequelae (late effect) as well as the residual condition itself.
ICD-10-CM Code for Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting left non-dominant side I69. 354.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z09 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Z09- Encounter for follow-up examination after completed treatment for conditions other than malignant neoplasm
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z86.73 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Z77-Z99 Persons with potential health hazards related to family and personal history and certain conditions influencing health status
The patient is admitted into hospital and diagnosed with cerebral infarction, unspecified ( ICD-10 code I63.9). At the 3-week post-discharge follow-up appointment for the cerebral infarction, the office visit note states the patient had a stroke and has a residual deficit of hemiplegia, affecting the right dominant side.
In ICD-10 CM, code category I63 should be utilized when the medical documentation indicates that an infarction or stroke has occurred. Coding of sequelae of stroke and infarction also demands a level of detail often missing in medical records. There are specific codes which indicate the cause of the infarction, such as embolism or thrombosis, as well as the specific affected arteries. The sixth digit provides additional information which designates the affected side when applicable.
Seek answers to two questions when coding a stroke, infarction, or hemorrhage. First, ask if the cerebral event is acute, or emergent. Second, find in the medical record details of the site and the site, laterality, and type of stroke or infarction. Medical record documentation should clearly specify the cause-and-effect relationship between the medical intervention and the cerebrovascular accident in order to assign a code for an intraoperative or postprocedural cerebrovascular accident.
If a patient has a history of a past cerebrovascular event and has no residual sequelae, report Z86.73 Personal history of transient ischemic attack (TIA ), and cerebral infarction without residual deficits.
Report any and all neurological deficits of a cerebrovascular accident that are exhibited anytime during a hospitalization, even if the deficits resolve before the patient is released from the hospital.
