Used for medical claim reporting in all healthcare settings, ICD-10-CM is a standardized classification system of diagnosis codes that represent conditions and diseases, related health problems, abnormal findings, signs and symptoms, injuries, external causes of injuries and diseases, and social circumstances.

Why ICD-10 codes are important
ICD-10 code R82. 998 for Other abnormal findings in urine is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
E87.2ICD-10 code E87. 2 for Acidosis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases .
ICD-10 code Z91. 81 for History of falling is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
8: Other and unspecified disturbances of smell and taste.
There are several types of metabolic acidosis: Diabetic acidosis (also called diabetic ketoacidosis and DKA) develops when substances called ketone bodies (which are acidic) build up during uncontrolled diabetes.
What is metabolic acidosis? The buildup of acid in the body due to kidney disease or kidney failure is called metabolic acidosis. When your body fluids contain too much acid, it means that your body is either not getting rid of enough acid, is making too much acid, or cannot balance the acid in your body.
However, coders should not code Z91. 81 as a primary diagnosis unless there is no other alternative, as this code is from the “Factors Influencing Health Status and Contact with Health Services,” similar to the V-code section from ICD-9.
ICD-10 Code for Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris- I25. 10- Codify by AAPC.
When a patient has a history of cerebrovascular disease without any sequelae or late effects, ICD-10 code Z86. 73 should be assigned.
U09. 9 (Post COVID-19 condition, unspecified) is a special purposes code with its own notes and Code First instructions....Instead, you'll have to choose from among six new, more specific codes:1 (Acute cough)2 (Subacute cough)3 (Chronic cough)4 (Cough syncope)8 (Other specified cough)9 (Cough, unspecified)
9: Dorsalgia, unspecified.
ICD-9 Code Transition: 780.79 Code R53. 83 is the diagnosis code used for Other Fatigue. It is a condition marked by drowsiness and an unusual lack of energy and mental alertness. It can be caused by many things, including illness, injury, or drugs.
Abnormal gait or a walking abnormality is when a person is unable to walk in the usual way. This may be due to injuries, underlying conditions, or problems with the legs and feet. Walking may seems to be an uncomplicated activity.
ICD-10 code R26. 81 for Unsteadiness on feet is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Older people have the highest risk of death or serious injury arising from a fall and the risk increases with age. For example, in the United States of America, 20–30% of older people who fall suffer moderate to severe injuries such as bruises, hip fractures, or head trauma.
0 – Age-Related Osteoporosis without Current Pathological Fracture. ICD-Code M81. 0 is a billable ICD-10 code used for healthcare diagnosis reimbursement of Age-Related Osteoporosis without Current Pathological Fracture.
Stronger acids have a high degree of ionization, so there are relatively more free hydrogen ions floating around. pH, standing for “power of hydrogen,” is a logarithmic scale representing how acidic or alkaline a solution is. pH is based on the concentration of H+ ions. A reading of 7.0 is considered neutral, but there are still hydrogen ions around, 10 -7 to be precise. Less than 7.0 is acidic, more than 7.0 is alkaline or basic. Normal body pH is 7.4.
My last piece of advice relates to one of those coding-clinical disconnects. Hyperlactatemia is the way providers describe elevated lactate short of lactic acidosis. There is no indexing for hyperlactatemia. The ICD-10-CM indexing will take “excessive lacticemia” to E87.2. However, this is not a phrase that clinicians use. You may want to set up an internal coding guideline stating that your providers use “hyperlactatemia” to indicate “excessive lacticemia,” or set up an acronym expansion that outputs “hyperlactatemia, i.e., excessive lacticemia,” when the clinician types in “hyperlactatemia.”
Lactic acidosis is defined as lactate level > 4 mmol/L. There is often acidemia, which means the blood measures acidic (relative to normal pH of 7.4) with a pH < 7.35, but if compensatory mechanisms are not overwhelmed, the pH may be closer to normal.
Lactic acidosis develops when there is increased production of lactate, decreased clearance, or a combination of both. The most common cause is the shock state. It can also result from impaired hepatic function, like in cirrhosis, or from regional ischemia, drugs and toxins, or from inborn errors of metabolism.
If the condition indexes under a general term coded at E87.2, like acidosis or acidemia, it is integral to it. Examples are renal tubular acidosis or propionic acidemia. They code to different codes, but they are indexed below E87.2.
A reading of 7.0 is considered neutral, but there are still hydrogen ions around, 10 -7 to be precise. Less than 7.0 is acidic, more than 7.0 is alkaline or basic. Normal body pH is 7.4. Those charged particles can interact chemically with other particles.
Genetic disorders of metabolism can have variable manifestations. If acidemia is part of the name of the condition and the condition is indexed below E87.2, acidosis should be considered inherent. Other inborn errors, however, may have lactic acidosis as a component.

Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
Elevation of levels of lactic acid dehydrogenase [LDH] 1 R74.02 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 ICD-10-CM R74.02 is a new 2021 ICD-10-CM code that became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of R74.02 - other international versions of ICD-10 R74.02 may differ.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R74.02 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Z codes represent reasons for encounters. A corresponding procedure code must accompany a Z code if a procedure is performed. Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00 -Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
