That code is I10, Essential (primary) hypertension. As in ICD-9, this code includes “high blood pressure” but does not include elevated blood pressure without a diagnosis of hypertension (that would be ICD-10 code R03. 0).
The code Z76. 89 describes a circumstance which influences the patient's health status but not a current illness or injury. The code is unacceptable as a principal diagnosis.

Bronchitis not otherwise specified (NOS) due to COVID-19 should be coded using code U07.1 and J40, Bronchitis, not specified as acute or chronic.
During pregnancy, childbirth or the puerperium, a patient admitted (or presenting for a health care encounter) because of COVID-19 should receive a principal diagnosis code of O98.5- , Other viral diseases complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium, followed by code U07.1, COVID-19, and the appropriate codes for associated manifestation (s). Codes from Chapter 15 always take sequencing priority
If a patient with signs/symptoms associated with COVID-19 also has an actual or suspected contact with or exposure to someone who has COVID-19, assign Z20.828, Contact with and (suspected) exposure to other viral communicable diseases, as an additional code. This is an exception to guideline I.C.21.c.1, Contact/Exposure.
For cases where there is a concern about a possible exposure to COVID-19, but this is ruled out after evaluation, assign code Z03.818, Encounter for observation for suspected exposure to other biological agents ruled out.
When COVID-19 meets the definition of principal diagnosis, code U07.1, COVID-19, should be sequenced first, followed by the appropriate codes for associated manifestations, except in the case of obstetrics patients as indicated in Section . I.C.15.s. for COVID-19 in pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium.
Chapter 1: Certain Infectious and Parasitic Diseases (A00-B99) g. Coronavirus Infections. Code only a confirmed diagnosis of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) as documented by the provider, documentation of a positive COVID-19 test result, or a presumptive positive COVID-19 test result.
5. Unspecified vs. lacking specific documentation. Although ICD-10 includes unspecified codes such as J06.9, “Acute upper respiratory infection, unspecified,” to avoid claim denials think carefully before using them. The use of unspecified codes is discouraged if you're using them because of a lack of clinical documentation.
Ready for some good news? The common cold is still the common cold and has a simple, three-digit ICD-10 code: J00, “Acute nasopharyngitis.” ICD-10 even includes “common cold” in the description.
The ICD-10 codes for sinusitis align fairly well with those in ICD-9. Both sets include maxillary, frontal, ethmoidal, and sphenoidal. ICD-10 adds the option of pansinusitis. In ICD-9, pansinusitis fell under “Other”; however in ICD-10, “Other acute sinusitis” (J01.80) is for infections involving more than one sinus but not pansinusitis. Both ICD-9 and ICD-10 include a code for unspecified.
Infective rhinitis defaults to the “Acute nasopharyngitis” (common cold) J00 code, discussed earlier. However, chronic rhinitis gets its own code, J31.0. Vasomotor and allergic rhinitis also have their own code series (J30). (See “ Rhinitis and other codes related to the nose .”)
Each of the acute sinusitis codes requires a fifth digit that differentiates “acute” from “acute recurrent.”. The chronic codes have only four digits. (See “ Sinusitis codes .”) If the cause of the sinusitis is known, add a code from B95-B97, “Bacterial and viral infectious agents,” to identify the infectious agent.
Hopefully, you will rarely see acute epiglottitis in the office, but be aware that there are codes for this condition without obstruction (J05.10) and with obstruction (J05.11).
You do not detect any sign of a current infection or abscess. You code the visit using Z00.121, “Encounter for routine child health examination with abnormal findings” (primary) and J35.3, “Hypertrophy of tonsils with hypertrophy of adenoids” (secondary).
Patient is admitted with SOB and has COPD. On admission, the patient is thought to have possible pneumonia. The patient is begun on IV antibiotics and responds to treatment. The patient is discharged with the diagnosis of COPD with acute exacerbation/acute bronchitis. There is no mention of pneumonia at the time of discharge or in the DS. In this case, the coder would need to query the MD to clarify if the possible diagnosis of pneumonia was ruled out. It may be that there is documentation in the record to elude to this and no query needed but if unclear it should be queried. The diagnosis of pneumonia would not be able to be reported unless the MD was queried and clarification of the diagnosis was given.
A possible, probable, suspected, likely, questionable, or still to be ruled out condition can be coded if still documented as such at the time of discharge.
Patient is admitted with pneumonia and during the admission complains of abdominal pain. Workup is done without confirmation of the cause of this pain. The physician documents in the record, at the time of discharge, abdominal pain was worked up with no clear cause. This was thought to be mild acute pancreatitis vs. alcoholic gastritis. In this case, both acute pancreatitis and alcoholic gastritis would be reported. No code would be reported for the symptom of abdominal pain.
