CMS states that the ICD–10–CM code list is an exhaustive list that contains many codes that do not support the need for home health services and so are not appropriate as principal diagnosis codes for grouping home health periods into clinical groups.
Symptoms of a tia are like other stroke symptoms, but do not last as long. They happen suddenly, and include numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body confusion or trouble speaking or understanding speech
“All of these coding instructions state to include any conditions that exist at the time of home health admission or that develop during the course of a home health period of care and that affect patient care planning.”
Tias are often a warning sign for future strokes. Taking medicine, such as blood thinners, may reduce your risk of a stroke. Your doctor might also recommend surgery.
Code 433.10 and Transient Ischemic Attack.
G45. 9 - Transient cerebral ischemic attack, unspecified | ICD-10-CM.
Need for assistance at home and no other household member able to render care. Z74. 2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z74.
In ICD-10-CM, transient cerebral ischemic attacks and related syndromes are classified as nervous system diseases and are found in Chapter 7, Diseases of the Nervous System.

Common diagnoses among home health care patients include circulatory disease (31 percent of patients), heart disease (16 percent), injury and poisoning (15.9 percent), musculoskeletal and connective tissue disease (14.1 percent), and respiratory disease (11.6 percent).
S9122 Home health aide or certifie - HCPCS Procedure & Supply Codes.
Home Health Aide On a 32X type of bill, report HCPCS code G0156, the date of service, the service units representing the number of 15-minute increments that comprised the visit, and a charge amount.
A TIA has the same origins as that of an ischemic stroke, the most common type of stroke. In an ischemic stroke, a clot blocks the blood supply to part of the brain. In a TIA , unlike a stroke, the blockage is brief, and there is no permanent damage.
A transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or "mini stroke" is caused by a temporary disruption in the blood supply to part of the brain.
Overview. A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a brief episode during which parts of the brain do not receive enough blood. Because the blood supply is restored quickly, brain tissue does not die as it does in a stroke.
Transient cerebral ischemia is defined as a temporary loss of blood flow to an area in the brain. In ICD-9-CM, codes for transient cerebral ischemia are classified under circulatory system diseases and are found in Chapter 7, Diseases of the Circulatory System. Conditions classified as transient cerebral ischemia are listed in category 435 and include basilar artery syndrome (435.0), vertebral artery syndrome (435.1), subclavian steal syndrome (435.2), and vertebro-basilar artery syndrome (435.3).
Again, these include 435.0 (basilar artery syndrome), 435.1 (vertebral artery syndrome), and 435.3 (vertebro-basilar artery syndrome). In ICD-10-CM, a single code, G45.0 Vertebro-basilar artery syndrome, covers the same conditions indicated by the three codes in ICD-9-CM. In order to understand why these conditions have been reclassified and combined into a single code in ICD-10-CM, it is necessary to review the medical terminology, anatomy, and pathophysiology related to these conditions.
