The least appropriate code is unspecified. Only use unspecified when there is not a more definitive code. Reviewing the principles of ICD-10 and the classifications of uveitis will help ensure correct ...
When selecting the appropriate ICD-10, you should choose the code that accurately reflects the initial confirmed diagnosis. The best code is the actual disease. Without a confirmed diagnosis, the next best is a sign or symptom. After that, other is the best option. The least appropriate code is unspecified.
The process of diagnosing anterior uveitis and determining the most specific code is outlined in Figure 1. The initial diagnosis of anterior uveitis (primary acute, recurrent acute, and chronic) is used when waiting for a confirmed diagnosis.
Based on the anatomical involvement, uveitis can be classified as anterior, affecting the anterior chamber/iris; intermediate, affecting the vitreous/pars plana; posterior, affecting the retina and choroid; or panuveitis, affecting the anterior chamber, vitreous, and retina/choroid.
These principles are relevant when coding for uveitis cases. Often, patients present with obvious symptoms and a diagnosis of anterior uveitis is clear. However, determining why the patient has uveitis and uncovering the underlying systemic disease may be possible with additional testing. As the results are reviewed and an etiology becomes apparent, a more definitive uveitis diagnosis and ICD-10 code will be assessed.
The least appropriate code is unspecified. Only use unspecified when there is not a more definitive code. Code the diagnosis you know. Do not code probable, suspected, or questionable diagnoses, do not you rule out conditions until they are confirmed. These principles are relevant when coding for uveitis cases.
When the results are obtained, a more definitive diagnosis may be used. If anterior uveitis is secondary to an underlying disease, the next step is determining if that systemic disease is infectious or noninfectious. The initial ICD-10 codes are replaced with the secondary anterior uveitis code, as appropriate, and the systemic disease is coded as a secondary ICD-10 code. There may be cases where the underlying cause is not identified, and the diagnosis will remain anterior uveitis.
