When a diagnosis is not established at the first visit and follow-up visits are required before determining a primary diagnosis, what should the coder do? Code the signs and symptoms. (Instead of inconclusive diagnoses, the specific signs and symptoms are coded and reported.)
ICD-10 code Z51. 81 for Encounter for therapeutic drug level monitoring is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Under ICD-10 coding rules, in the outpatient setting, if you note your patient's diagnosis as “probable” or use any other term that means you haven't established a diagnosis, you are not allowed to report the code for the suspected condition. However, you may report codes for symptoms, signs, or test results.
09 for Observation of other suspected mental condition is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range -PERSONS WITHOUT REPORTED DIAGNOSIS ENCOUNTERED DURING EXAMINATION AND INVESTIGATION.
Do not code diagnoses documented as “probable,” “suspected,” “questionable,” “rule out,” or “working diagnosis,” or other similar terms indicating uncertainty.

If secondary diagnoses are not reported, then HCC’s are not captured for the claim. This may impact reimbursement and quality measure statistics. Below are several websites that are available and that go into great detail about what HCC’s are, how they are calculated, and why they are important.
Chronic conditions should be reported on each visit when they are under treatment or are systemic medical conditions. Chronic systemic conditions should be reported even in the absence of intervention or further evaluation.
The final impression by the physician is COPD exacerbation. In this case, a code for the COPD exacerbation would be reported as well as “Z” codes for personal history of pneumonia, history of smoking, and family history of lung cancer and colon cancer.
Past medical conditions and diagnoses help improve the communication to other healthcare providers and registries. The diagnoses are not just reported for payment but statistics.
Reporting codes for encounters for circumstances other than a disease or injury: Codes Z00-Z99 are provided so that codes for past diseases or other histories can be reported for the patient. Family history codes may also be pertinent for outpatient encounters. If a past history or family history has an impact or influences care and/or treatment in any way the history should be reported. HIA does have a document for “Z” codes that should ALWAYS be reported regardless of patient type unless there are specific facility guidelines that advise otherwise. Here are a few examples:
Another reason to report all secondary diagnosis, history and status codes is to confirm medical necessity. Some payors will deny tests done outpatient if the medical necessity is not met. Many times medical necessity is determined by the ICD-10-CM codes reported on the outpatient claim. For example, if an EKG is done on a patient in an encounter for outpatient fracture repair, and the chronic atrial fibrillation is not coded as a secondary diagnosis by the coder, the EKG charge/reimbursement could be denied by the payor. There are also many other examples, such as a patient getting extended laboratory tests because they are on long term anticoagulants such as Coumadin. It is very important that all secondary diagnosis/status/history codes be reported on the outpatient claim.
Chronic diseases in the outpatient setting should be reported. If a condition is under current treatment it should be reported for each visit as long as the patient is receiving treatment for the condition. Remember though that there are chronic diseases that are systemic conditions and the patient will have them for the remainder of their life. Some of these are HTN, COPD, asthma, emphysema and diabetes. It may be that some research is necessary to determine if the condition is one that has a cure or if it is one that they will have forever.
