The annual nursing facility assessment is billed using CPT code 99318, and SNF discharge services are billed using CPT codes 99315-99316.
Encounter Codes should be always coded as primary diagnosis All the encounter codes should be coded as first listed or primary diagnosis followed by all the secondary diagnosis. For example, if a patient comes for chemotherapy for neoplasm, then the admit diagnosis, ROS and primary diagnosis will be coded as Z51.

Diabetes Mellitus • Use as many codes as necessary to describe all complications • If type of DM is not documented in the medical record, the default is E11.- Type 2 diabetes mellitus • If the record does not indicate the type of DM, but does indicate the use of insulin, code also Z79.4 Long-term (current) use of insulin

Millie is an elderly Long-term care patient with primary diagnosis of Parkinsonism and severe osteoporosis. She became dizzy during her shower and was gently lowered to the ground by two CNAs. She was subsequently sent to the hospital due to severe low back pain and was found to have a vertebral fracture. CASE #5 .
B95 Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and Enterococcus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere B96 Other bacterial agents as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere B97 Viral agents as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere . Instructional note advises that an additional organism code is required .
Associated conditions (overweight, obesity, or pressure ulcer) must be documented by the patient’s provider. If there is conflicting medical record documentation, either from the same clinician or different clinicians, the patient’s attending provider should be queried for clarification. CODING GUIDELINES .
“Code first” notes are under certain codes that are not specifically manifestation codes but may be due to an underlying cause. When there is a “code first” note and an underlying condition is present, the underlying condition is sequenced first.
Chapters are subdivided into subchapters (blocks) that contain three character categories and form the foundation of the code.
Mutually exclusive codes that cannot exist together. It means “NOT CODED HERE”.
If the causal condition is known, then the code for that condition should be sequenced as the principal diagnosis or first-listed diagnosis.
In this case, if the patient is in the recovery phase equal to, or less than, the four-week time frame for the acute myocardial infarction (AMI), continue to use code I21.19, ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction involving other coronary artery of inferior wall. Please note that for encounters occurring while the myocardial infarction is equal to, or less than, four weeks old, including transfers to another acute setting or a postacute setting, and the patient requires continued care for the myocardial infarction, codes from category I21 may continue to be reported. However, if the AMI occurred more than four weeks before, assign code Z51.89, Encounter for other specified aftercare.
When the reason for the admission is strictly for convalescence and there is no other definitive diagnosis, assign code Z51.89, Encounter for other specified aftercare, as the first-listed diagnosis.
Code G30.9, Alzheimer’s disease, unspecified, should be the principal diagnosis. Assign code S62.102D, Fracture of unspecified carpal bone, left wrist, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing, as a secondary diagnosis, for the healing wrist fracture, and code W19.XXXD, Unspecified fall, subsequent encounter. Assign the procedure code to show that the patient received occupational therapy.
A nursing home resident fell and was transferred to the hospital for treatment of a left wrist fracture. After inpatient surgical treatment of the fracture, he is returned to the nursing home where he has resided for several years due to Alzheimer’s disease. The patient will receive occupational therapy at the nursing home, but the therapy is not the primary reason for the nursing home admission. How should this be coded?
Assign code N39.0, Urinary tract infection, site not specified. The diagnosis would be part of the resident’s active problem list until the infection is resolved, at which time it would no longer be coded and reported.
A nursing home resident is transferred to the hospital for treatment of pneumonia. She returns to the nursing home and is still receiving antibiotics for the pneumonia. However, the main reason she is returning to the nursing home is because this has been her residence since developing a CVA with residuals several years ago. Which diagnosis should be listed first at the nursing home, the pneumonia or late effects of the CVA? Would it make any difference if the pneumonia was no longer receiving any treatment upon the resident’s return to the nursing home?
A resident returns to the LTC facility following hospital care for pneumonia. The physician’s orders state, “continue IV antibiotics for 3 days,” after which time the resident is to have a repeat x-ray to determine status of the pneumonia. Would you code the pneumonia?
A diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is also referred to as a shear injury and is frequently observed in patients with severe head trauma. This type of injury normally occurs from traumatic deceleration/acceleration such as in a car accident. There is extensive damage to the nerve tissue and the brain’s normal chemical processes are disrupted. Patients may present with a variety of temporary or permanent functional impairments, depending on the severity of the injury. DAI is a major cause of persistent vegetative state and morbidity and is a significant medical problem because of the patient’s high level of debilitation.35
Current burns (940-948) are classified by depth, extent and by agent (E code). Burns are classified by depth as first degree (erythema), second degree (blistering), and third degree (full-thickness involvement).

Codes under category 250, Diabetes mellitus, identify complications/ manifestations associated with diabetes mellitus. A fifth-digit is required for all category 250 codes to identify the type of diabetes mellitus and whether the diabetes is controlled or uncontrolled.
Code 496, Chronic airway obstruction, not elsewhere classified, is a nonspecific code that should only be used when the documentation in a medical record does not specify the type of COPD being treated.
The Medicare program defines Long Term Care Hospitals (LTCHs) as hospitals that have a provider agreement with Medicare and have an average Medicare inpatient length of stay of greater than 25 days. Medicare covers LTCHs under the Long Term Care Hospital Prospective Payment System (LTCH PPS) rules with cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2002.
Such conditions are not to be reported and are coded only if required by hospital policy. History codes may be used as secondary codes if they have an impact on current care or influence treatment.
