Abnormally high blood glucose level. Higher than normal amount of glucose (a type of sugar) in the blood. Hyperglycemia can be a sign of diabetes or other conditions. ICD-10-CM R73.9 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v 38.0): 640 Miscellaneous disorders of nutrition, metabolism, fluids and electrolytes with mcc
Note: If A 1c results are between 6.0 and 8.0 (including 6.0 and 8.0), GlycoMark® testing is performed. GlycoMark® reflects postprandial glucose spikes from the previous two weeks, whereas A 1c reflects average glycemic control during the previous three months.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperosmolarity without nonketotic hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar coma (NKHHC) E11.00 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Hemoglobin A1c with Reflex to GlycoMark® - To assist with control of blood glucose levels, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) has recommended glycated hemoglobin testing (HbA1c) twice a year for patients with stable glycemia, and quarterly for patients with poor glucose control.
1.
The GlycoMark® Test An FDA-cleared blood test specific to detecting recent hyperglycemia and hyperglycemic excursions (occurring in the fasting state, postprandial, or both). Reveals recent trends toward or away from A1C goals, suggesting improving or worsening control.

You would assign ICD-10 code Z13. 1, Encounter for screening for diabetes mellitus. This code can be found under “Screening” in the Alphabetical Index of the ICD-10 book.
ICD-Code E11* is a non-billable ICD-10 code used for healthcare diagnosis reimbursement of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Its corresponding ICD-9 code is 250. Code I10 is the diagnosis code used for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
A GlycoMark of 12 ug/mL would mean an average post-meal blood sugar of 180 mg/dL. At the low end, a GlycoMark of <2 would mean average daily excursions above 290 mg/dL, so as the GlycoMark goes down, it indicates more extreme high blood sugars.
C-peptide is measured to tell the difference between insulin the body produces and insulin that is injected into the body. Someone with type 1 or type 2 diabetes may have their C-peptide level measured to see if their body is still producing insulin.
What is being tested? Fructosamine is a compound that is formed when glucose combines with protein. This test measures the total amount of fructosamine (glycated protein) in the blood. Glucose molecules will permanently combine with proteins in the blood in a process called glycation.
ICD-10 code R73 for Elevated blood glucose level is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
The form, called an "Advance Beneficiary Notice of Noncoverage," or ABN, is a Medicare template intended to warn patients that Medicare imposes limits on coverage. The A1c test, which doctors typically order every 90 days, is covered only once every three months.
The incorrect portion of the response came as an aside at the end, where it was stated that “it would be redundant to assign codes for both diabetic nephropathy (E11. 21) and diabetic chronic kidney disease (E11. 22), as diabetic chronic kidney disease is a more specific condition.” It is true you wouldn't code both.
GlycoMark® testing provides an estimate of the patient's postmeal glucose over a one- to two-week period, making it ideal for intermediate term monitoring of glycemic control in diabetic patients. GlycoMark® testing can also help monitor the effectiveness of therapeutics targeting postprandial glucose (PPG), 1,2 and it is a useful adjunct to routine A1c testing because it responds more rapidly and sensitively to hyperglycemia than A 1c. 1,2
Individuals with diabetes that have blood glucose level excursion in excess >180 mg/dL can be expected to have low levels of 1,5-AG. In these individuals, excess glucose in the body is reabsorbed first by the kidneys, blocking 1,5-AG reabsorption.
1,5 Anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG) is a naturally occurring monosaccharide found in nearly all foods. Individuals without diabetes and those with diabetes but have well-controlled blood glucose levels <180 mg/dL have detectably high levels of 1,5-AG. When a individual's glucose levels are in a normal range, 1,5-AG is naturally processed by ...
Some alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, such as Acarbose, may potentially reduce 1,5- AG levels due to interference with intestinal absorption of 1,5- AG. As with all diagnostic tests, GlycoMark® results should be interpreted along with clinical findings and results from other diagnostic methods.
Individuals using INVOKANA® may demonstrate low levels of 1,5-AG. 1,5-AG blood levels are falsely lowered by the diabetes drug INVOKANA® which prevents reabsorption of 1,5-AG in the kidneys. INVOKANA® belongs to new class of diabetes medication known as sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, which block reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys, and other SGLT2 inhibitors may have the same effect. INVOKANA® is a trademark of Janssen Pharmaceuticals Inc.
