ICD Code 110 is a billable ICD-10-CM code that will be used to specify a diagnosis in relation to essential (primary) hypertension. ICD-10 codes 010, 011 and 013-016 in this case will be used to specify any hypertension complication affecting childbirth pregnancy and puerperium. Essential hypertension affecting vessels supplying the brain with blood will be represented by ICD-10 codes 160-169. Essential hypertension affecting vessels supplying the eye with blood on the other hand will be ...
Once a patient is coded to B20, they will always have B20 coded on their record; they will never go back to being coded using the asymptomatic code Z21. Code Z21 is used for patients who are asymptomatic, meaning they are HIV positive but have never had an HIV-related condition.
Therefore, the current 042-044 series of codes has been replaced with a single code, 042, Human Immunodeficiency Virus {HIV} Disease, to be used for all symptomatic (or previously symptomatic) HIV infections.
The ICD-10-CM code Z21, Asymptomatic human immunodeficiency virus, is used when there is no documentation of symptoms, or if the patient is described as HIV positive, having known HIV, or similar terminology.
Sequencing. The proper sequencing for HIV depends on the reason for the admission or encounter. When a patient is admitted for an HIV-related condition, sequence B20 Human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] disease first, followed by additional diagnosis codes for all reported HIV-related conditions. Conditions always considered HIV-related include ...
In the inpatient setting, HIV is the only condition that must be confirmed to select the code. All other conditions documented as “probable,” suspected,” likely,” “questionable,” “probable,” or “still to rule out” are coded as if they exist in the inpatient setting. Dx. Sequencing. The proper sequencing for HIV depends on the reason for ...
HIV infection/illness is coded as a diagnosis only for confirmed cases. Confirmation does not require documentation of a positive blood test or culture for HIV; the physician’s diagnostic statement that the patient is HIV positive or has an HIV-related illness is sufficient. In the inpatient setting, HIV is the only condition ...
