Several ICD-9-CM codes that qualify for coverage of Prothrombin Time/International Normalized Ratio (PT/INR) monitoring for home anticoagulation management were inadvertently omitted in CR 6318.

Elevated partial thromboplastin time; Elevated prothrombin time; Partial thromboplastin time increased; Prothrombin time increased; ICD-10-CM R79.1 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v 38.0): 947 Signs and symptoms with mcc; 948 Signs and symptoms without mcc; Convert R79.1 to ICD-9-CM. Code History
1: Abnormal coagulation profile.
Raised INR can be coded with the ICD-10 code R79. 8 Other specified abnormal findings of blood chemistry.
A: When physicians use a prothrombin time test (reported with CPT code 85610) to monitor patients on anticoagulant drugs, Medicare pays the entity that performed the test. Its payment for the test is based on the geographically specific laboratory test fee schedule.
ICD-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 .
A PTT may be used to assess patients with signs or symptoms of hemorrhage or thrombosis. For example: abnormal bleeding, hemorrhage or hematoma petechiae or other signs of thrombocytopenia that could be due to disseminated intravascular coagulation; swollen extremity with or without prior trauma.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z51. 89 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z51.
Description: Blood count; complete (CBC), automated (Hgb, Hct, RBC, WBC and platelet count) and automated differential WBC count.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) today expanded Medicare coverage for home blood testing of prothrombin time (PT) International Normalized Ratio (INR) to include beneficiaries who are using the drug warfarin, an anticoagulant (blood thinner) medication, for chronic atrial fibrillation or venous ...
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.
Z00.00ICD-10 Code for Encounter for general adult medical examination without abnormal findings- Z00. 00- Codify by AAPC.
ICD-10 code Z13. 220 for Encounter for screening for lipoid disorders is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Note that B97. 4 cannot be a main ICU diagnosis but is a specification of a different diagnostic code (e.g. may be the combination Other apnea in newborn P28.
9: Fever, unspecified.
Report code Z01. 84, “Encounter for antibody response examination,” if the antibody test is neither to confirm a current COVID-19 infection nor for follow-up of a known infection. For a current COVID-19 infection, report U07. 1 and codes for any manifestations.
ICD-10 Code for Viral infection, unspecified- B34. 9- Codify by AAPC.
Item/Service Description . Basic plasma coagulation function is readily assessed with a few simple laboratory tests: the partial thromboplastin time (PTT), PT, thrombin time (TT), or a quantitative fibrinogen determination.

procedure Code Description 85610 Prothrombin time CMS (Medicare) has determined that Prothrombin Time (procedure Code 85610) is only medically necessary and, therefore, reimbursable by Medicare when ordered for patients with any of the diagnostic conditions listed below in the “ICD-9-CM Codes Covered by Medicare Program.”
Note. Z codes represent reasons for encounters. A corresponding procedure code must accompany a Z code if a procedure is performed. Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00-Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'.This can arise in two main ways:

A PT may be used to assess the risk of hemorrhage or thrombosis in patients who are going to have a medical intervention known to be associated with increased risk of bleeding or thrombosis . For example: evaluation prior to invasive procedures or operations of patients with personal history of bleeding or a condition associated with coagulopathy prior to the use of thrombolytic medication.
The PT test is one in-vitro laboratory test used to assess coagulation . While the PTT assesses the intrinsic limb of the coagulation system, the PT assesses the extrinsic or tissue factor dependent pathway. Both tests also evaluate the common coagulation pathway involving all the reactions that occur after the activation of factor X.
A PT may be used to assess patients taking warfarin. The prothrombin time is generally not useful in monitoring patients receiving heparin who are not taking warfarin.
Current medical information does not clarify the role of laboratory PT testing in patients who are self monitoring. Therefore, the indications for testing apply regardless of whether or not the patient is also PT self-testing.
Since the INR is a calculation, it will not be paid in addition to the PT when expressed in seconds, and is considered part of the conventional PT test.
INR STANDS FOR 'INTERNATIONAL NORMALIZED RATIO' for Prothrombin Time
But I do know for sure that INR is a lab test done in patients on ANTICOAGULANTS, (atrial fibrillation, previous history of an "infarct " or DVT/pul monary embolism), for detecting the extended Prothrombin Time in patients who are on Coumidin, Heparin derivative therapy- as an INDEX to decide about the therapeutic continuation/ or to reduce the dose/ or to temporarily discontinue the drug- meaning to know the adverse effect (not as a poison drug)- in otherwords, it is an AQUIRED COAGULATION DEFECT while on treatment with Anticoagulants.
It is a Lab test and the E/M code would suffice if it the only service provided.
Yes, that is perfect diagnosis codes for elevated INR I said elevated INR indicates abnormal Prothrombin Time indirectly. The patient is already on anticoagulants. (Vcode)

Billing and Coding articles provide guidance for the related Local Coverage Determination (LCD) and assist providers in submitting correct claims for payment. Billing and Coding articles typically include CPT/HCPCS procedure codes, ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes, as well as Bill Type, Revenue, and CPT/HCPCS Modifier codes. The code lists in the article help explain which services (procedures) the related LCD applies to, the diagnosis codes for which the service is covered, or for which the service is not considered reasonable and necessary and therefore not covered.
Noridian is issuing this coding and billing guidance as it relates to the National Coverage Determination for Home Prothrombin Time/International Normalized Ration (PT/INR) Monitoring for Anticoagulation Monitoring (NCD 190.11) and is in no way a change in coverage as outlined in the NCD and MLN Matters articles.
