Three new codes have been included in the 2019 ICD-10-CM to uniquely capture postprocedural sepsis, T81.44- (Sepsis following a procedure), with seventh character options “A,” “D,” or “S.” Additionally, the tabular instruction to “Use Additional code to identify the sepsis” will be added to the new postprocedural sepsis code T81.44.
ICD Codes, International Classification of Diseases codes, are found on patient paperwork, including hospital records, physician records, and death certificates. The tenth version of the code currently in use is called the ICD-10. The United States has used the new ICD-10 codes since October 1, 2015,...

The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition, Clinical Modification/Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-CM/PCS) will enhance accurate payment for services rendered and facilitate evaluation of medical processes and outcomes.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has mandated industry-wide adoption of ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS code sets by Oct. 1, 2011. ICD-10-CMS will affect all components of the healthcare industry. Ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) will not be affected by ICD-10-PCS unless they are utilizing ICD-9-CM volume 3 for inpatient procedures.
The codes will move from a numeric five-character size to an alphanumeric seven-character size. At current count, there are approximately 17,000 ICD-9-CM codes and the possibility of 155,000 ICD-10-CM/PCS codes. The codes are far more specific which will allow for greater accuracy.
A – Initial Encounter. ‘A’ signifies that the patient is receiving treatment for the particular diagnosis for the first time. The confusion is faced when the patient visits the clinic for the continued treatment of the same diagnosis.
X – The Placeholder. Though not a part of seventh character extenders, the character ‘X’ plays a vital role in coding where the seventh code is required. When the code is less than 6 characters long and still requires a seventh code extender, that is where the character ‘X’ come into play.
If ICD-10 codes have fewer than 6 characters, providers need to use the dummy placeholder denoted by “X”. The “X” placeholder needs to be added in all the empty slots between the first and the 7th character extension. This placeholder is not case sensitive and is not optional.
The Subsequent Encounter “D” extension indicates an encounter when the patient is receiving routine care during the period of healing or recovery after the active phase of treatment for the injury. In the chiropractic industry, routine care is “maintenance” care. So this routine or maintenance care is the “subsequent” care. Chiropractors provide maintenance care when the active condition/injury is resolved. So when chiropractors provide maintenance care after the active phase of treatment, they need to apply the “D” extension to signify the “subsequent” visit.
Use the “D” extension to code encounters when the patient is receiving routine or maintenance care. For instance, a patient with shoulder pain returns to the office to get his or her joint stability re-evaluated to ensure that the injury is healing properly. In this case, the seventh character “D” would be assigned.
When coding the 7th character, your biller and coder should not focus on the number of times the patient has visited your practice, but on the type of treatment that the provider is providing.
For example, in the eye chapter, the 7th character is used to identify the stage of glaucoma, in the OB section a 7th character is used to identify which fetus is involved, and in injuries, a 7th character is used to identify stage of treatment.
This new guidance illustrates the intention of 7 th Character “A” to be used for each encounter where the patient is receiving active treatment (not just the first encounter) and that the 7 th Character “D” is intended for use once active treatment has been completed and the patient is obtaining routine care during the recovery or healing phase.
7th character “A,” initial encounter is used for each encounter where the patient is receiving active treatment for the condition.
SAD is a disorder, so begin your code search in ICD-10-CM by looking up “disorder” in the Index. Then, look for “depressive.” Next, find “recurrent” to locate F33.9 Major depressive disorder, recurrent, unspecified. In the Tabular List, an Includes note confirms that you may report “recurrent episodes of seasonal depressive disorder” with this code.
Most people experience short periods of melancholy from time to time, but SAD is more than the occasional winter doldrums.
Understanding that SAD is a subtype of major depressive disorder is important. A physician may diagnose a patient with SAD if they “meet full criteria for major depression coinciding with specific seasons for at least 2 years,” according to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Symptoms of major depression include: 1 Depression 2 Hopelessness 3 Lethargy 4 Disinterest in activities normally enjoyed 5 Insomnia 6 Irritability 7 Inability to concentrate 8 Suicidal thoughts
Of course, it’s more complicated than that. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) criteria are even more specific: The patient’s depression can’t be due to seasonal stressors; the patient must experience full remissions in other seasons; and the patient must have had two depressive episodes in the past two years that included five or more symptoms for major depressive disorder.
Symptoms are generally the inverse of winter-pattern SAD symptoms. Understanding that SAD is a subtype of major depressive disorder is important.
The 10th version of the code, in use since 2015, is called the ICD-10 and contains more than 70,000 disease codes. 1 The ICD is maintained by the World Health Organization (WHO) and distributed in countries across the globe.
ICD codes are also used in clinical trials to recruit and track subjects and are sometimes, though not always, included on death certificates. 4
Having the right code is important for being reimbursed for medical expenses and ensuring the standardized treatment for your medical issue is delivered.
When your doctor submits a bill to insurance for reimbursement, each service is described by a common procedural technology (CPT) code, which is matched to an ICD code. If the two codes don't align correctly with each other, payment may be rejected.
ICD codes are used globally to track health statistics and causes of death. This is helpful for gathering data on chronic illnesses as well as new ones. For example, a new code was added to the ICD-10 in 2020 to track vaping-related illnesses. 3
Most ICD-9 codes are three digits to the left of a decimal point and one or two digits to the right of one. For example:
The ICD receives annual updates in between revisions, which is sometimes reflected in the code title. For example, the 2020 updated version is the ICD-10-CM. The ICD-11 was approved by the WHO in 2019 and goes into effect in 2022. 2
The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) is the official system to assign health care codes describing diagnoses and procedures in the United States (U.S). The ICD is also used to code and classify mortality data from death certificates.
ICD-10 was implemented on October 1, 2015, replacing the 9th revision of ICD (ICD-9).
The ICD-10-CM has two types of excludes notes. Each note has a different definition for use but they are both similar in that they indicate that codes excluded from each other are independent of each other.
SLPs practic ing in a health care setting, especially a hospital, may have to code disease s and diagnoses according to the ICD-10. Payers, including Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurers, also require SLPs to report ICD-10 codes on health care claims for payment.
