Chapter 18 of ICD-10-CM, Symptoms, Signs, and Abnormal Clinical and Laboratory Findings, Not Elsewhere Classified (codes R00.0–R99) contains many (but not all) codes for symptoms.#N#Chapter 18 also includes codes for Symptoms, Signs and Abnormal Clinical and Laboratory Findings Not Elsewhere Classifiable, for ill-defined conditions where no diagnosis classifiable elsewhere is recorded. These conditions are represented through the range of R00-R59. They consist of categories for:
A symptom code is used with a confirmed diagnosis only when the symptom is not associated with that confirmed diagnosis. It’s the coder’s responsibility to understand pathophysiology (or to query the provider), to determine if the signs/symptoms may be separately reported or if they are integral to a definitive diagnosis already reported.
Signs and symptoms associated routinely with a disease process should not be assigned as additional codes, unless otherwise instructed by the classification. Additional signs and symptoms that may not be associated routinely with a disease process should be coded, when present. Author. Recent Posts.
