The conventions for the ICD-10-CM are the general rules for use of the classification independent of the guidelines. These conventions are incorporated within the Alphabetic Index and Tabular List of the ICD-10-CM as instructional notes.
Counseling Z codes are used when a patient or family member receives assistance in the aftermath of an illness or injury, or when support is required in coping with family or social problems.
More than one external cause code is required to fully describe the external cause of an illness or injury. The assignment of external cause codes should be sequenced in the following priority:
Code assignment is based on the provider’s documentation of the relationship between the condition and the care or procedure, unless otherwise instructed by the classification. The guideline extends to any complications of care, regardless of the chapter the code is located in. It is important to note that not all conditions that occur during or following medical care or surgery are classified as complications. There must be a cause-and-effect relationship between the care provided and the condition, and an indication in the documentation that it is a complication. Query the provider for clarification, if the complication is not clearly documented.
The word “with” or “in” should be interpreted to mean “associated with” or “due to” when it appears in a code title, the Alphabetic Index (either under a main term or subterm), or an instructional note in the Tabular List. The classification presumes a causal relationship between the two conditions linked by these terms in the Alphabetic Index or Tabular List. These conditions should be coded as related even in the absence of provider documentation explicitly linking them, unless the documentation clearly states the conditions are unrelated or when another guideline exists that specifically requires a documented linkage between two conditions (e.g., sepsis guideline for “acute organ dysfunction that is not clearly associated with the sepsis”).For conditions not specifically linked by these relational terms in the classification or when a guideline requires that a linkage between two conditions be explicitly documented, provider documentation must link the conditions in order to code them as related.
When assigning a chapter 15 code for sepsis complicating abortion, pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium, a code for the specific type of infection should be assigned as an additional diagnosis. If severe sepsis is present, a code from subcategory R65.2, Severe sepsis, and code(s) for associated organ dysfunction(s) should also be assigned as additional diagnoses.
code from subcategory O9A.2, Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes complicating pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium, should be sequenced first, followed by the appropriate injury, poisoning, toxic effect, adverse effect or underdosing code, and then the additional code(s) that specifies the condition caused by the poisoning, toxic effect, adverse effect or underdosing.
Encounter for issue of other medical certificate 1 Z02.79 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM Z02.79 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z02.79 - other international versions of ICD-10 Z02.79 may differ.
Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00 -Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
For any given record, the initial and subsequent reviews may not always be performed by the same CDI specialist, so for the purposes of this paper, the term “subsequent” refers to any review of a previously reviewed record, not only the re-review of a record by the same individual.
Coded data is used for reimbursement purposes and to ensure proper risk stratification, such as in CMS Value-Based Purchasing, Pay-for-Performance, and the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program. Coded data is used to report SOI/ROM as well as physician and hospital “profiling.” It also supports healthcare policy and public health reporting.
Here, CDI specialists encounter a great deal of clinical evidence for POA conditions, even if not initially documented in the medical record. ED diagnoses may be final-coded , but like all diagnoses, they must be clearly documented, be clinically supported , and meet the UHDDS definition of a secondary diagnosis.
One of the greatest challenges to identifying an optimal, universal CDI record review process is contending with differing organizational CDI scopes of work. While this paper offers a standard review process, differing organizational end goals may require different review emphases.
Specifically, the Coding Guidelines state: For reporting purposes, the definition for “other diagnoses” is interpreted as additional conditions that affect patient care in terms of requiring: Increased nursing care and/or monitoring.
UHDDS definitions apply to inpatients in acute care, short-term care, long-term care, and psychiatric hospital settings. Not only is technology changing how the medical record is formatted, but it is also changing how CDI and coding professionals perform their duties.
Keep in mind that the Official Coding Guidelines state, “the assignment of a diagnosis code is based on the provider’s diagnostic statement that the condition exists.”. A code title is not the same as a diagnostic statement, and it doesn’t support the condition as reportable. Another situation to consider is related to the ability ...
