The classification for symptomatic HIV infection consists of a single, three-digit ICD-9-CM code -- code 042, found in Chapter 1, Infectious and Parasitic Diseases, of the ICD-9-CM. This classification places HIV infection at the beginning of the section on viral diseases. Multiple coding of all listed manifestations of HIV infection is required. The new code for asymptomatic HIV infection, V08, is found in the Supplementary Classification of Factors Influencing Health Status and Contact with Health Services; the code for inconclusive serologic tests for HIV, 795.71, is found in Chapter 16, Signs, Symptoms, and Ill-Defined Conditions.
In addition, a new code, V08, has been created for asymptomatic HIV infection. The new code, 795.71, is applicable only to those patients who test positive on a preliminary screening test, but whose HIV infection status is not yet confirmed.
Patients with physician-documented asymptomatic HIV infections who have never had an HIV-related illness should be coded to V08, Asymptomatic Human Immunodeficiency Virus {HIV} Infection.
Code 795.8 was intended for inconclusive HIV test results, whereas code 044.9 was intended for asymptomatic HIV infection (or a statement of "HIV positive"). However, both of these codes have been widely misused because of the lack of clear instructions and guidelines.
The increasing incidence of HIV infection and advances in medical knowledge about the spectrum of illnesses caused by this virus have created demand for continued modifications to the classification. The current modifications will simplify the coding of HIV-related illnesses and should improve the accuracy of reporting, allowing public health officials, clinical researchers, and agencies that finance health care to monitor more reliably the diagnoses of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and other manifestations of HIV infection.
If the results are negative, use code V65.44, HIV counseling. If the results are positive, code V08, Asymptomatic HIV infection, should be used unless the patient has symptoms of HIV disease. If the test result is positive and the patient has an HIV-related illness, code 042, HIV disease, should be used.
Patients who are admitted for an HIV-related illness should be assigned a minimum of two codes: first assign code 042 to identify the HIV disease and then sequence additional codes to identify the other diagnoses. If a patient is admitted for an HIV-related condition, the principal diagnosis should be 042, followed by additional diagnosis codes for all reported HIV-related conditions.
A second reason to update the ICD-9–based instrument was to reflect developments in the treatment of HIV infection, which in isolation is no longer associated with near-term (90-day) mortality . The category for AIDS created by Charlson and colleagues explicitly excluded HIV-positive status, whereas instruments based on administrative data either did not differentiate between the 2 conditions3,7,8or did not include AIDS and HIV infection as clinical categories.9Quan and colleagues assigned to HIV infection the same weight (6 points) that was assigned to metastatic cancer.7Adding to the problem, the World Health Organization has discontinued using the code for AIDS in ICD-9and ICD-10, leaving only HIV-positive category as a valid diagnosis.10
For renal disease, we changed the 2 points for a single category to 1 for mild-to-moderate disease and to 3 for severe renal disease. We assigned 3 points to HIV without AIDS, based on our authors' consensus, and ascribed 6 points to AIDS as is the case in previous scoring versions.
The initial two 12-month time windows were the last 1-year periods in which ICD-9codes were used exclusively in the United States (ie, October 2013-September 2014 and October 2014-September 2015) . The third time window was the earliest 1-year window where ICD-10codes were used exclusively (ie, October 2015-September 2016). The CCI scoring was based on diagnosis codes in claims for services received during these time periods.
An early CCI instrument based on diagnosis codes translated chart review condition categories into International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision(ICD-9) diagnosis codes with 3-digit specificity.2 The use of diagnostic coding for reimbursement purposes creates an incentive for providers to use more accurate and precise coding. Accordingly, newer claims-based versions of the CCI, such as the frequently used instrument designed by Deyo and colleagues, incorporated 4- and 5-digit codes.3
Patients with aids are especially susceptible to opportunistic infections (usually pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, cytomegalovirus (cmv) infections, tuberculosis, candida infections, and cryptococcosis), and the development of malignant neoplasms (usually non-hodgkin's lymphoma and kaposi's sarcoma).
One or more indicator diseases, depending on laboratory evidence of hiv infection (cdc); late phase of hiv infection characterized by marked suppression of immune function resulting in opportunistic infections, neoplasms, and other systemic symptoms (niaid). rheumatoid arthritis ( M05.-)
Clinical Information. A disease caused by human immunodeficiency virus (hiv). People with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome are at an increased risk for developing certain cancers and for infections that usually occur only in individuals with a weak immune system.
A prodromal phase of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (hiv). Laboratory criteria separating aids-related complex (arc) from aids include elevated or hyperactive b-cell humoral immune responses, compared to depressed or normal antibody reactivity in aids; follicular or mixed hyperplasia in arc lymph nodes, leading to lymphocyte degeneration and depletion more typical of aids; evolving succession of histopathological lesions such as localization of kaposi's sarcoma, signaling the transition to the full-blown aids.
In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
An acquired defect of cellular immunity associated with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (hiv), a cd4-positive t-lymphocyte count under 200 cells/microliter or less than 14% of total lymphocytes, and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and malignant neoplasms.
code to identify resistance to antimicrobial drugs ( Z16.-) A disease caused by human immunodeficiency virus (hiv). People with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome are at an increased risk for developing certain cancers and for infections that usually occur only in individuals with a weak immune system.
Diagnosis of HIV infection is primarily made through the use of serologic assays. These assays take one of two forms: antibody detection assays and specific HIV antigen (p24) procedures. The antibody assays are usually enzyme immunoassays (EIA) which are used to confirm exposure of an individual's immune system to specific viral antigens. These assays may be formatted to detect HIV-1, HIV-2, or HIV-1 and 2 simultaneously and to detect both IgM and IgG. When the initial EIA test is repeatedly positive or indeterminant, an alternative test is used to confirm the specificity of the antibodies to individual viral components. The most commonly used method is the Western Blot.
Diagnostic testing to establish HIV infection may be indicated when there is a strong clinical suspicion supported by one or more of the following clinical findings:
If initial serologic tests are HIV EIA negative and there is no indication for confirmation of infection by viral RNA detection, the interval prior to retesting is 3-6 months.
The patient has signs and symptoms of acute retroviral syndrome with fever, malaise, lymphadenopathy, and skin rash.
HIV antibody testing in the United States is usually performed using HIV-1 or HIV-½ combination tests. HIV-2 testing is indicated if clinical circumstances suggest HIV-2 is likely (that is, compatible clinical findings and HIV-1 test negative). HIV-2 testing may also be indicated in areas of the country where there is greater prevalence of HIV-2 infections.
The HIV antigen tests currently have no defined diagnostic usage.
In several unique situations, serologic testing alone may not reliably establish an HIV infection. This may occur because the antibody response (particularly the IgG response detected by Western Blot) has not yet developed (that is, acute retroviral syndrome), or is persistently equivocal because of inherent viral antigen variability. It is also an issue in perinatal HIV infection due to transplacental passage of maternal HIV antibody. In these situations, laboratory evidence of HIV in blood by culture, antigen assays, or proviral DNA or viral RNA assays, is required to establish a definitive determination of HIV infection.
Patients with any known prior diagnosis of an HIV-related illness should be coded to B20. Once a patient has developed an HIV-related illness, the patient should always be assigned code B20 on every subsequent admission/encounter. Patients previously diagnosed with any AIDS/HIV illness(B20) should never be assigned to R75 or Z21 (HIV+).
Case study #10: A 5 month (20 weeks) pregnant patient with a history of AIDS presents to her OB appointment complaining of severe cramping and heavy bleeding. She was put on IV meds and the bleeding stopped The patient was sent to Labor and Delivery.
Z21, Asymptomatic human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] infection, is to be applied when the patient without any documentation of symptoms is listed as being “HIV positive,” “known HIV,” “HIV test positive,” or similar terminology. Do not use this code if the term “AIDS” is used or if the patient is treated for any HIV-related illness or is described as having any condition(s) resulting from his/her HIV positive status; use B20 in these cases.
