ICD-9-CM V58.61 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, V58.61 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015. For claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015, use an equivalent ICD-10-CM code (or codes).
Code 790.92, Abnormal coagulation profile, is available to identify abnormal laboratory findings of prolonged bleeding time without the presence of hemorrhage or a coagulation disorder.
Long term (current) use of anticoagulants Z79. 01 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 Z79. 01 became effective on October 1, 2021.
ICD-10 code Z79. 01 for Long term (current) use of anticoagulants is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
32.
01 Long term (current) use of anticoagulants.
NCD - Partial ThromboplastinTime (PTT) (190.16)
The diagnosis of coagulopathy (D689) serves as an exclusion from the PSI-9 measure.
Coagulations disorders are conditions that affect the blood's clotting activities. Hemophilia, Von Willebrand disease, clotting factor deficiencies, hypercoagulable states and deep venous thrombosis are all coagulations disorders.
Warfarin-induced coagulopathy Warfarin and related VKAs, whether ingested accidentally, factitiously, or as an overdose of oral anticoagulant therapy, lead to a deficiency of vitamin K–dependent proteins, prolongation of the prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time, and clinical bleeding manifestations.
Coagulopathy is often broadly defined as any derangement of hemostasis resulting in either excessive bleeding or clotting, although most typically it is defined as impaired clot formation.
ICD-10 code Z51. 81 for Encounter for therapeutic drug level monitoring is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Current guidelines suggest that anticoagulants be continued indefinitely in unprovoked VTE patients with nonhigh bleeding risk. If a patient has a yearly bleeding risk on anticoagulants > 3% (ie, high bleeding risk), we would expect a 20-year cumulative risk for major bleed of ∼60%.
Long-term anticoagulation is necessary to prevent the high frequency of recurrent venous thrombosis or thromboembolic events. Interruption of anticoagulation within the first 12 weeks of therapy appears to result in a 25% incidence of recurrent thrombosis.
ICD-9 code V67.51 (following completed treatment with high-risk medication, not elsewhere classified) should be reported only after patients have completed their drug treatment, but not while they are still in therapy.
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. The prothrombin time test, billed as C PT 85610-QW, is payable to the physician if he or she operates with a CLIA certificate of waiver. The QW modifier indicates a CLIA-waived test.
Billing for a low- to mid-level office/outpatient E/M service, CPT 99212-99213. Physicians can bill a low- to mid-level E/M service if they discuss the prothrombin time test results with the patient during an office visit. A physician may choose to personally relay the results if he or she needs to evaluate the patient and adjust the anticoagulant drug dosage.
There are essentially three parts to coding: diagnosis, lab tests and anticoagulation management. Payment policies differ among government and private insurers. This article will focus on the Medicare coding and payment policies.
A: The CPT codes are intended for the active management of a patient on anticoagulation (warfarin) and require the physician to submit a bill every 90 days.
CPT code 99364 is very similar, but is to be used for subsequent 90-day periods of management and only requires three INR measurements during these time periods.
Coagulopathy (clotting or bleeding disorder) Clinical Information. A condition in which there is a deviation from or interruption of the normal coagulation properties of the blood. Condition in which there is a deviation from or interruption of the normal coagulation properties of the blood.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM D68.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.

A code also note instructs that 2 codes may be required to fully describe a condition but the sequencing of the two codes is discretionary, depending on the severity of the conditions and the reason for the encounter.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z51.81 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Each code not only represents what has happened to the body, but also how it happened. Such as sudden trauma, slow onset, surgery etc…If you have a prescription with a code and don’t know what it means and the doctor didn’t write out what it means.
If the patient complains of another area than what the doctor prescribe then write the doctor back and explain that the patient is also complaining of (another area). The doctor will usually write you another prescription for the area if the patient mentioned to them.
Be aware that ICD-10 is the correct designation but is more often referred to as ICD-9 because it was used for such a long time that most people still use designation ICD-9 instead of ICD-10. This is not an attempt to represent all diagnosis codes, but is an attempt to give you a list of codes and short descriptions of what they mean.
CPT ® also states not to report either code during the service time of chronic care management ( CCM) or transitional care management ( TCM ). (99487, 99489, 99490, 99495, 99496) During the service period would mean during any calendar month of reporting CCM and during the 30-day post discharge period if billing TCM.
G0249: Provision of test materials and equipment for home INR monitoring of patient with either mechanical heart valve (s), chronic atrial fibrillation, or venous thromboembolism who meets Medicare coverage criteria; includes provision of materials for use in the home and reporting of test results to physician; not occurring more frequently than once a week
Currently, there are two sets of codes, three HCPCS codes and two CPT ® codes. They aren’t defined exactly the same, and so take careful reading. The HCPCS codes relate only to home INR monitoring, while one of the CPT ® codes can be used when the test is done in the home, office or lab.
93792 Patient/caregiver training for initiation of home international normalized ratio (INR) monitoring under the direction of a physician or other qualified healthcare professional, face-to-face, including use and care of the INR monitor, obtaining blood sample, instructions for reporting home INR test results, and documentation of patient’s/ caregiver’s ability to perform testing and report results
The CPT ® code for a fingerstick, 36416, has a status indicator of bundled, and Medicare won’t pay it, and neither will most payers. Do not bill either a nurse visit or code 93793 when done on the day of an office visit.
The second code released in 2018, 93793, was for non-face-to-face review of INR results and management. It is for reviewing the results of an INR done at home, at the office or in a lab. The national payment amounts for each service are listed in the linked article.
First, two codes were deleted in 2018. CPT ® had two codes for the service, 99363 and 99364, both of which had a status indicator of bundled in the Medicare Fee Schedule, meaning they weren’t paid by Medicare or most insurance companies. They’re gone.
