ICD-10 code Z99. 2 for Dependence on renal dialysis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
ESRD is reported as 585.6 in ICD-9-CM and N18. 6 in ICD-10-CM. Additional guidance is provided in ICD-10-CM under N18. 6 to use additional codes to identify dialysis status (Z99.
Code N18. 6, end-stage renal disease, is to be reported for CKD that requires chronic dialysis. relationship between diabetes and CKD when both conditions are documented in the medical record.
90937CPT Codes to Report Hemodialysis Procedure 90937 – Hemodialysis procedure requiring repeated evaluations, with or without substantial revision of dialysis prescription – This code is used to report services provided by the physician during the patient's hemodialysis treatment.
Z99. 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 Z99. 2 became effective on October 1, 2021.
N18. 31- Chronic Kidney Disease- stage 3a. N18. 32- Chronic Kidney Disease- stage 3b.
The difference between CKD Stage 5 and ESRD is the dependence on dialysis. A patient with CKD Stage 5 may or may not be on dialysis and the damage to the kidney may be reversible. A patient with the diagnosis of ESRD requires chronic dialysis.
N18. 9 is the ICD-10-CM code for unspecified CKD. This code would be a focus of clinical documentation improvement, as stages 4 and 5 are complication/comorbidity (CC) diagnoses, and ESRD is a major complication/comorbidity (MCC). From the Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) perspective: N18.
When both acute renal failure and ESRD are clearly documented in the record, both conditions are to be coded.
65 End-Stage Renal Disease Treatment Facility A facility other than a hospital, which provides dialysis treatment, maintenance, and/or training to patients or caregivers on an ambulatory or home-care basis.
Section 15350, Dialysis Services (Codes 90935-90999), adds a new subsection allowing payment for CPT codes 90935 or 90937 for dialysis services furnished to acute dialysis patients requiring hemodialysis on an outpatient or inpatient basis.
Condition codes ESRD claims must have one dialysis Condition Code (CC) per claim to describe the dialysis setting. If two dialysis settings are used during the month, then two claims must be filed.

There are three ways to remove clots and thrombus, fibrin sheaths, and other obstructive material from dialysis catheters: (1) declotting by injection, (2) removing external obstruction, or (3) removing internal obstruction.
Medtronic produces a variety of catheters used to perform hemodialysis in patients with renal failure. These catheters are Central Venous Access Catheters , intended to be inserted via a central vein – typically, the jugular, subclavian, brachiocephalic, or femoral veins. Once inserted, the internal tip of the catheter is advanced into the superior or inferior vena cava or into the right atrium of the heart. To be used for hemodialysis, the catheters have two lumens with two caps that hang outside the body. All Medtronic dialysis catheters are centrally inserted. CPT™*1 also provides codes for peripherally inserted catheters (PICC). These codes are not addressed within the guide.
The code depends on the type of imaging used. If both ultrasound guidance and fluoroscopic guidance are performed, both 76937 and 77001 can be assigned together with the dialysis catheter code.
For procedures performed in the office where the physician incurs the cost of the catheter, the physician can bill the HCPCS A-code for the catheter in addition to the CPT™* code for the procedure of placing it. However, many payers include payment for the device in the payment for the CPT™* procedure code and do not pay separately for the catheter.
However, some patients who are already hospitalized may need a dialysis catheter. When insertion is performed as an inpatient the ICD-10-PCS code set is used to report the procedure provide in this care setting. The ICD-10-PCS procedure code depends on several factors, including non-tunneled (acute, short term use) or tunneled (chronic, long-term use), and the anatomic site where the internal tip of the dialysis catheter rests.
