Metabolic encephalopathy 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Billable/Specific Code G93.41 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM G93.41 became effective on October 1, 2020.
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code G93.4 Other and unspecified encephalopathy alcoholic encephalopathy (G31.2); encephalopathy in diseases classified elsewhere (G94); hypertensive encephalopathy (I67.4); toxic (metabolic) encephalopathy (G92) ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code G93.40 [convert to ICD-9-CM]

Encephalopathy, unspecified. A functional and/or structural disorder of the brain caused by diseases (e.g. Liver disease, kidney disease), medications, chemicals, and injuries. Degenerative diseases of the brain.
Whenever “metabolic encephalopathy” is documented, code G93. 41, Metabolic encephalopathy, should be assigned.
Acute toxic-metabolic encephalopathy (TME), which encompasses delirium and the acute confusional state, is an acute condition of global cerebral dysfunction in the absence of primary structural brain disease [1].
If you look for metabolic encephalopathy, it has the code G93. 41 with the subcategories of drug induced and toxic, both with G92 codes. On the other hand, it can also be looked at as yes, you can code both. Again, from the Official Guidelines, code G93.
The admission is five days long and the final diagnosis is encephalopathy due to polypharmacy with a metabolic component due to UTI. If toxic encephalopathy (encephalopathy due to drug) is sequenced as the principal diagnosis, metabolic encephalopathy as a secondary diagnosis will act as an MCC.
Hepatic encephalopathy: This happens if liver disease causes toxins to build up in a person's blood. Toxic metabolic encephalopathy: This occurs when toxic chemicals, or a chemical imbalance caused by an infection, affects brain function.
There are two major types of metabolic encephalopathies, namely those due to lack of glucose, oxygen or metabolic cofactors (which are usually vitamin-derived) and those due to peripheral organ dysfunction (Table 38-1).
Toxic encephalopathy describes acute mental status alteration due to medications, illicit drugs, or toxic chemicals. Metabolic encephalopathy is caused by any of a large number of metabolic disturbances.
Metabolic encephalopathy has been associated with acute insults such as DKA, but importantly, the risk of cerebral injury is also related to chronic hyperglycaemia. Mechanisms of cerebral injury in diabetes mellitus continue to be investigated.
Metabolic encephalopathy. This happens when another health condition, such as diabetes, liver disease, kidney failure, or heart failure, makes it hard for the brain to work. For example, if blood sugar gets too high in diabetes, it can lead to confusion and even a coma.
Encephalopathy is not considered inherent in acute cerebrovascular accident/stroke and should be reported as an additional diagnosis when documented and supported. Encephalopathy due to sepsis/septic should be reported as metabolic (see ICD-10-CM Index)
Neurologic injury from systemic dysfunction – Hypoxemia, prevalent in patients with severe COVID-19, is likely to play a role in many patients with encephalopathy, as are metabolic derangements due to organ failure and medication effects.
Definition. Encephalopathy is a term for any diffuse disease of the brain that alters brain function or structure.
Encephalopathy /ɛnˌsɛfəˈlɒpəθi/ means disorder or disease of the brain. In modern usage, encephalopathy does not refer to a single disease, but rather to a syndrome of overall brain dysfunction; this syndrome can have many different organic and inorganic causes.
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 348.31 was previously used, G93.41 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
G93.41 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Metabolic encephalopathy . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically.
