The World Health Organization also has not recognized IBS-C (irritable bowel syndrome with constipation) as a stand-alone diagnosis, so ICD-10 requires use of both an IBS code and a constipation code. However, there are IBS codes for with and without diarrhea. (See “ IBS-related codes .”)
If you are evaluating a patient prior to endoscopy, you should code the condition of hematemesis (K92.0) rather than use an unspecified peptic ulcer code. Only about 50 percent of acute upper GI bleeding is the result of peptic ulcer disease. 1 ICD-10 has determined that hematemesis is a disease, not a sign or symptom.
For these conditions, ICD-10 uses two base code categories: J43 for emphysema and J44 for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). All codes require a fourth digit. However, without additional testing, it is unlikely that a primary care physician can clearly differentiate emphysema from chronic bronchitis. Per the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health, “Most people who have COPD have both emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Thus, the general term ‘COPD’ is more accurate.” 1 In that case, J44.9, “COPD, unspecified,” should be used. (See “ Emphysema/COPD codes .”)
However, if in your clinical judgment the condition is caused by pollen, you need to document that judgment in the record and then assign code J30.1, “Allergic rhinitis due to pollen.”. Remember that ICD-10 does not prohibit you from using your clinical judgment, but your documentation must support your judgment.
Ready for some good news? The common cold is still the common cold and has a simple, three-digit ICD-10 code: J00, “Acute nasopharyngitis.” ICD-10 even includes “common cold” in the description.
Infective rhinitis defaults to the “Acute nasopharyngitis” (common cold) J00 code, discussed earlier. However, chronic rhinitis gets its own code, J31.0. Vasomotor and allergic rhinitis also have their own code series (J30). (See “ Rhinitis and other codes related to the nose .”)
Classification of asthma is based on the NHLBI's “Expert Panel Report 3: Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma” published in 2007. Coding is based on the classification level and the presence of an acute exacerbation or status asthmaticus. (See “ Asthma codes .”)
These codes include acute (with or without obstruction) and chronic codes, but there are no acute recurrent codes. The unspecified codes do not differentiate between the larynx and trachea but use the term “Supraglottitis.” (See “Larynx, trachea, and epiglottis codes .”)
