Metabolic acidosis, increased anion gap (IAG) (met-ah-bol-ik as-id-o-sis) a condition in which the blood is too acidic. It may be caused by severe illness or sepsis (bacteria in the bloodstream) A disorder characterized by abnormally high acidity (high hydrogen-ion concentration) of the blood and other body tissues A pathologic condition of acid accumulation or depletion of base in the body. The two main types are respiratory acidosis and metabolic acidosis, due to metabolic acid build up A state due to excess retention of carbon dioxide in the body Acidosis caused by accumulation of lactic acid more rapidly than it can be metabolized; may occur spontaneously or in association with diseases such as diabetes mellitus, leukemia, or liver failure Acidosis resulted from any pathologic condition interfering with normal ventilation, e.g. In case of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease An abnormal increase in the acidity of the body's fluids An abnormally high acidity (excess hydrogen-ion concentration) of the blood and other body tissues An abnormally high acidity of the blood and other body tissues. Acidosis can be either respiratory or metabolic Excess retention of carbon dioxide in the body resulting from ventilatory impairment Pathologic condition resulting from accumulation of acid or depletion of the alkaline reserve (bicarbonate) content of the blood and body tissues, and characterized by an increase in hydrogen ion concentration (decrease in ph) Continue reading >>

E87- Other disorders of fluid, electrolyte and acid-base balance E87.2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2018 edition of ICD-10-CM E87.2 became effective on October 1, 2017. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of E87.2 - other international versions of ICD-10 E87.2 may differ. A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as E87.2. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

Suggestions collected from ACP Hospitalist Coding Corner, American Health Information Management Association on Clinical Documentation Improvement for ICD 10 website, Nuance Role Specific Physician-Internal Medicine/Hospitalist ICD 10 training and the NMVAHCS ICD 10 coders. The purpose of ICD 10 is to document the severity of illness of your patient!!!! This translates to reimbursement, even for the VA! Probably and likely due to: can be billed as if the condition exists Possibly, suspected, questionable, consistent with, appears to be, rule out (R/O) diagnosis: should be coded for the condition as if the condition exists however maybe coded as a symptom code per the ABQVA coders. However, per VISN 10 they should all be coded as if the condition exists. Again, try to link your conditions with words like Due to, likely due to, because of, associated with, and, with. All acceptable words when you are treating a condition like it exist. Example Small cell lung carcinoma with acute respiratory failure or Acute nose bleed due to chronic lymphocytic leukemia with thrombocytopenia Be specific: Left or Right, Acute or Chronic, etc. Use the word Acute whenever appropriate otherwise it will be assumed chronic. Avoid use of symptom words like dizzy, fainting or chest pain. Use diagnostic language whenever possible. Bacteremia (positive blood cx only). This is a lab finding only. Better to use the below terms. Sepsis:SIRS + infection (document suspected or known source of infection) Severe Sepsis:above + organ dysfunction, hypotension, hypoperfusion (lactic acidosis, SBP<90, or SBP drop of 40mm Hg from normal). Must document the organ affected (respiratory failure, encephalopathy, AKI). Septic Shock:severe sepsis with hypotension unresponsi Continue reading >>
AAPC Coder Complete provides all the coding and reimbursement tools needed for inpatient coders, outpatient coders and CDI experts. Quickly view the OPPS fee schedules for freestanding ASCs and hospital based outpatient services in one place. For each CPT code, you can identify the applicable modifiers, status indicators and payment indicators. For procedures that require devices, you can view if there is a credit adjustment policy for the device. Avoid bundling and determine proper modifier use by using the OPPS CCI checker for up to 25 codes at one time. The cross-reference tools allow you to forward and backward map CPT to ICD-9-CM Volume 1 and 3, ICD-9-CM Volume 1 to ICD-10-CM and ICD-9-CM Volume 1 to the appropriate DRG options. Easily identity the DRG options, including CC and MCC, for each ICD-9-CM Volume 1 code. APC look up provides necessary detail on one page including long descriptor, payment and coverage info and more. CPT Assistant is the official word from the AMA on proper CPT code usage. AAPC Coder's Code Connect add-on allows you to search all CPT Assistant articles from 1990 to present by CPT code to narrow the options to only related articles for quick coding guidance. The HCPCS Coding Clinic delivers the official guidance published quarterly by the American Hospital Association (AHA) Central Office on correct HCPCS level II code usage. Each issue offers consistent and accurate advice for the proper use of HCPCS and includes information on HCPCS reporting for hospitals HCPCS Level 1 (CPT) and Level II codes, the latest code assignments from emerging technologies, and real examples.

A metabolic disorder occurs when abnormal chemical reactions in your body disrupt this process. When this happens, you might have too much of some substances or too little of other ones that you need to stay healthy. There are different groups of disorders. Some affect the breakdown of amino acids, carbohydrates, or lipids. Another group, mitochondrial diseases, affects the parts of the cells that produce the energy.
HYPOALDOSTERONISM -. a congenital or acquired condition of insufficient production of aldosterone by the adrenal cortex leading to diminished aldosterone mediated synthesis of na+ k+ exchanging atpase in renal tubular cells. clinical symptoms include hyperkalemia sodium wasting hypotension and sometimes metabolic acidosis.
ACIDOSIS-. a pathologic condition of acid accumulation or depletion of base in the body. the two main types are respiratory acidosis and metabolic acidosis due to metabolic acid build up.
E87.2 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of acidosis. The code E87.2 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
FY 2016 - New Code, effective from 10/1/2015 through 9/30/2016 (First year ICD-10-CM implemented into the HIPAA code set)
ACIDOSIS RENAL TUBULAR-. a group of genetic disorders of the kidney tubules characterized by the accumulation of metabolically produced acids with elevated plasma chloride hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis. defective renal acidification of urine proximal tubules or low renal acid excretion distal tubules can lead to complications such as hypokalemia hypercalcinuria with nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis and rickets.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM E87.3 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A pathological condition that removes acid or adds base to the body fluids. A state due to excess loss of carbon dioxide from the body. (Dorland, 27th ed) An abnormally high alkalinity (low hydrogen-ion concentration) of the blood and other body tissues.
A disorder characterized by abnormally high alkalinity (low hydrogen-ion concentration) of the blood and other body tissues. A pathologic condition resulting from accumulation of base, or from loss of acid without comparable loss of base in the body fluids, and characterized by decrease in hydrogen ion concentration.
