Z51. 81 Encounter for therapeutic drug level monitoring - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
The ICD-10 section that covers long-term drug therapy is Z79, with many subsections and specific diagnosis codes. Because Plaquenil does not have its own specific category, clinicians should use Z79. 899—Other Long Term (Current) Drug Therapy.
When coding an adverse effect of a drug that has been correctly prescribed and properly administered, assign the appropriate code for the nature of the adverse effect followed by the appropriate code for the adverse effect of the drug (T36-T50).
In the case of an adverse effect of a prescribed medication, the adverse effect is coded first, followed by coding for the substance causing the adverse effect and then the condition being treated. Encounters involving poisoning are coded in a different order first by the substance, followed by the adverse effects.
V58. 69 - Long-term (current) use of other medications. ICD-10-CM.
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.
Code 82205 is for therapeutic monitoring only.
Other specified abnormal findings of blood chemistryICD-10 code R79. 89 for Other specified abnormal findings of blood chemistry is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code Z79 Z79.
899 or Z79. 891 depending on the patient's medication regimen. That said, it was always a supporting diagnosis, never primary. It might be okay for primary for drug testing or something of the sort.
THAYR-uh-pee) Treatment with any substance, other than food, that is used to prevent, diagnose, treat, or relieve symptoms of a disease or abnormal condition.
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is testing that measures the amount of certain medicines in your blood. It is done to make sure the amount of medicine you are taking is both safe and effective.
Z79 Long-term (current) drug therapy. Codes from this category indicate a patient's. continuous use of a prescribed drug (including such. things as aspirin therapy) for the long-term treatment. of a condition or for prophylactic use.
01 Long term (current) use of anticoagulants.
When coding an adverse effect of a drug that has been correctly prescribed and properly administered, assign the appropriate code for the nature of the adverse effect followed by the appropriate code for the adverse effect of the drug.
FY 2016 - New Code, effective from 10/1/2015 through 9/30/2016 (First year ICD-10-CM implemented into the HIPAA code set)
T49.5X5A is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of adverse effect of ophthalmological drugs and preparations, initial encounter. The code T49.5X5A is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
The Medicare Code Editor (MCE) detects and reports errors in the coding of claims data. The following ICD-10 Code Edits are applicable to this code:
Drugs and diseases, such as aspirin and peptic ulcers. Interactions can change the actions of one or both drugs. The drugs might not work, or you could get side effects. Side effects are unwanted effects caused by the drugs. Most are mild, such as a stomach aches or drowsiness, and go away after you stop taking the drug.
New codes are effective Oct. 1, 2021. Highly anticipated, the fiscal year 2022 ICD-10-CM codes have been released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), although still pending are the 2022 Official Coding and Reporting Guidelines which were not included in the package of new ...

The term drug monitoring is applicable for any test that measures the level of a drug in the body. It may mean that the level of the drug itself is being measured via a blood test, or it may be that a blood test for a specific function is being measured to assess the effectiveness of the drug. It may also mean that potential adverse effects of the drug are being monitored. It may also be that a test other than blood may be used to assess the effectiveness of a drug. This is consistent with advice previously published in Coding Clinic, Third Quarter 2002, pages 15-16.

Keep your critical coding and billing tools with you no matter where you work.
In ICD-10, diagnostic codes that start with the letter “E” cover “Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases”. Some of our patients are known to have a deficiency or condition for which the codes below apply.
Tip: If more than one diagnostic code applies to a particular patient, it is wise to put all of them down to reduce the chances of the insurance not paying for the test. We are not limited to putting down only one diagnostic code when ordering the laboratory tests.
But, for other laboratory tests, health insurances refuse to pay for the laboratory test because they don’t think that those laboratory tests are indicated for the mental disorder for which the diagnostic code was provided when the test was ordered. This can be a pain in the you-know-what, both for us ...
Z00.00 General adult medical examination without abnormal findings. This is a billable diagnosis code used when the person is getting health checked even without a specific complaint ( Reference ). This code can be used when screening for vitamin D deficiency. The problem is that the insurance companies consider screening for vitamin D deficiency ONLY in certain circumstances.
Z79.899 Other long-term (current) drug therapy. We can use this code if doing lab tests that should be done because the person is on a particular medication, e.g., TSH and Basic Metabolic Panel in a patient who is on lithium.
2. Also, since DSM-5 got rid of multiaxial diagnosis, by listing “non-psychiatric” diagnostic codes in the medical record, we can highlight these other conditions and provide a more holistic picture of the patient.
Here’s another example: If a patient has sexual dysfunction and we want to check serum testosterone, if we use the code E29.1 (Testicular hypofunction), the insurance will probably pay for the test because the diagnosis code indicates that the patient HAS the deficiency, not that the test is being done to see IF the person has the deficiency. While this approach works in terms of getting the lab test paid for, strictly speaking, this is not the right thing to do. Instead, we should put a diagnostic code indicating that we are screening for possible health problems that may be present.
It is used to monitor the depth of sedation or anesthesia. BIS index is a practical processed EEG parameter that measures the direct effects of sedatives on brain. Used mainly in paralyzed patients who can’t communicate and hence, can’t use RASS scale.
TOF should be assessed every 30 minutes x 4 or until ordered twitches achieved, then to q1h once goal TOF is achieved. If stable neuromuscular blockade is achieved, can do every 4 hrs.
If still no response, possibly not opiate overdose. The response to Naloxone dose doesn’t correlate with degree of opiate overdose. Also, Naloxone is very short acting and wears off in 30-45mins and hence, patients may need prolonged therapy with Naloxone or intubation.
The most frequent source of unreliable BIS readings is signal artifact from muscle activity, typically from the patient's face or forehead muscles. This muscle activity, measured as EMG in decibels, can be caused by pain, twitches, seizures, eye movement, or anything that results in increased muscle tone or movement. This activity can generate high-frequency signals that can contaminate the EEG and make the BIS index unreliable. For this reason, BIS monitors include an EMG bar graph. The higher the EMG, the greater the muscle activity, and therefore the less reliable the BIS index.
Train of Four test: Whenever a paralytic agent is used, the Train of Four test is used to measure the degree of neuromuscular blockade. By assessing the depth of neuromuscular blockade, peripheral nerve stimulation can ensure proper medication dosing and thus decrease the incidence of side effects. A peripheral nerve stimulator is used. Do a baseline measurement before paralytic agent is started to determine current necessary to obtain twitch. 20 mA may be enough for the patient. Complete and document until TOF to 2/4.
Connect the lead to the peripheral nerve stimulator by inserting the jacks into the Proximal (red) and Distal (black) output jacks. Connect the other end to the patient electrodes.
Precautions: generally delivered from central line to prevent pain from infusion. Also, tubing and bottle has to be discarded every 12 hours to prevent bacterial infection.
