I87.2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I87.2 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I87.2 - other international versions of ICD-10 I87.2 may differ. A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes.

When you submit CPT code 66982, local coverage determinations (LCDs) require more than the traditional cataract diagnosis codes. To indicate why the surgery qualifies as complex, you also must report one of the following codes:
ICD-10 codes I48.11, I48.19, I48.20, and I48.21 replaced deleted codes I48.1 and I48.2 in Group 1. The article was converted to the new Billing and Coding Article type. Bill types and Revenue codes have been removed from this article.
H25. 1 - Age-related nuclear cataract | ICD-10-CM.
History of fallingICD-10 code Z91. 81 for History of falling is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
H25. 13 Age-related nuclear cataract, bilateral - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
Age-related nuclear cataract, bilateral H25. 13 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM H25. 13 became effective on October 1, 2021.
However, coders should not code Z91. 81 as a primary diagnosis unless there is no other alternative, as this code is from the “Factors Influencing Health Status and Contact with Health Services,” similar to the V-code section from ICD-9.
R29.6ICD-10 code R29. 6 for Repeated falls is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
H43. 393 - Other vitreous opacities, bilateral | ICD-10-CM.
H52.223. Unspecified astigmatism, right eye. Unspecified astigmatism, left eye. Unspecified astigmatism, bilateral.
H25. 12 - Age-related nuclear cataract, left eye | ICD-10-CM.
A nuclear cataract is usually a result of aging and forms in the nucleus or central zone. It is also a slow progression type of cataract similar to the cortical cataract, however, instead of white clouded vision, the nuclear cataract is yellow and eventually can turn vision completely brown.
Age-related nuclear cataract is a major cause of blindness. It is characterised by opacification and colouration in the centre of the lens and is accompanied by extensive protein oxidation.
Senile cataract is an age-related, vision-impairing disease characterized by gradual progressive clouding and thickening of the lens of the eye.
Abnormal gait or a walking abnormality is when a person is unable to walk in the usual way. This may be due to injuries, underlying conditions, or problems with the legs and feet. Walking may seems to be an uncomplicated activity.
Adults older than 60 years of age suffer the greatest number of fatal falls. 37.3 million falls that are severe enough to require medical attention occur each year.
Z91.81Z91. 81 - History of falling. ICD-10-CM.
R41. 82 altered mental status, unspecified.
Use ICD-10 code Z01.810 for those tests which were performed to evaluate pre-operative risk (see Indications section in the LCD) but for whom the test was negative. (A positive test should be coded with the results of the test.)
When billing for the purchase of radiopharmaceutical (s), a copy of the bill indicating the dosage administered, unit price per dose, name and total charge of the radiopharmaceutical must be on file in the patient's medical record and available on request.
A claim submitted without a valid ICD-10-CM diagnosis code will be returned to the provider as an incomplete claim under Section 1833 (e) of the Social Security Act.
When a blood pool scan is performed to assess ejection fraction prior to implantation of defibrillator or biventricular pacemaker, the record must document the intended plan for insertion and the result of the test.
Risk assessment or re-evaluation of disease in patients who are asymptomatic or have stable symptoms, with known atherosclerotic heart disease on catheterization or SPECT perfusion imaging, who have not had a revascularization procedure within the past two years would be reimbursable; otherwise tests repeated in the absence of changes in cardiac signs or symptoms will be considered not medically necessary.
The use of an ICD-10-CM code listed below does not assure coverage of a service. The service must be reasonable and necessary in the specific case and must meet the criteria specified in the attached determination.
Not Otherwise Classified (NOC) codes should only be reported for those drugs that do not have a valid HCPCS code which describes the drug being administered. Remarks are required to include dosage, name of drug, and route of administration. You cannot bill for drugs that can be self-administered.
Bilateral injections billed with a -50 modifier per payer guidelines. (Medicare Part B claims billed with 67028-50 on one line, fees doubled and 1 unit.)
The National Drug Code is a unique 10-digit, three-segment number. It is a universal product identifier for human drugs in the United States. The code is present on all nonprescription (over-the-counter) and prescription medication packages and inserts in the United States.
Reminder: Documentation in the patient’s medical record must reflect the drug and dosage.
Cerebrovascular accident (also known as CVA) is the medical term for a stroke. A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. Brain cells begin to die in minutes.
The quicker you can get a diagnosis and treatment for a stroke, the better your prognosis will be. For this reason, it’s important to understand and recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Emergency treatment for stroke depends on whether you’re having an ischemic stroke or a stroke that involves bleeding into the brain. To treat an ischemic stroke, doctors must quickly restore blood flow to your brain.
When you submit CPT code 66982, local coverage determinations (LCDs) require more than the traditional cataract diagnosis codes. To indicate why the surgery qualifies as complex, you also must report one of the following codes:
How many different types of cataracts are there? According to ICD-10-CM, there are close to 70 — ranging from age-related to zonular cataracts.
Coronary artery disease, also known as CAD, develops when the major blood vessels that supply your heart become damaged or diseased. Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaques) in your coronary arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease.
If your coronary arteries narrow, they can’t supply enough oxygen-rich blood to your heart — especially when it’s beating hard, such as during exercise. At first, the decreased blood flow may not cause any symptoms.
It’s important to reduce or control your risk factors and seek treatment to lower the chance of a heart attack or stroke, if you’re diagnosed with CAD. Treatment also depends on your current health condition, risk factors, and overall wellbeing.
