ICD-10-CM/PCS code sets will enhance the quality of data for: Tracking public health conditions (complications, anatomical location) Improved data for epidemiological research (severity of illness, co-morbidities) Measuring outcomes and care provided to patients.
It is essential for the coders to recognize the billing codes for certain therapies as far as neurological procedures are concerned. If the coder knows which character of the code corresponds to which portion of the procedure, it becomes easy to streamline the billing process.

A “use additional code” note will normally be found at the infectious disease code, indicating a need for the organism code to be added as a secondary code. “Code first” notes are also under certain codes that are not specifically manifestation codes but may be due to an underlying cause.
21 chaptersICD-10-CM consists of 21 chapters.
Accurately identifying and applying combination codes can also trigger disease management programs, which can help educate members about their conditions and provide interventions that prevent higher costs associated with caring for a riskier member.
Another advantage of ICD-9 scoring is that risk stratification can easily be expanded to include coded comorbidities. 35 ICISS does not include physiologic data; however, it predicts mortality, costs, and length of stay as well as or better than risk adjustment models like TRISS and ASCOT that do. 35–40.
ICD-9 based scores (ICISS) should begin to supplement (and may supplant) AIS-based scores (ISS) because these ICD-9 based scores have better statistical properties and are less expensive to calculate.
5 The breadth of HCPCS is larger than that of CPT, encompassing both goods and services. As a result, the accommodation of CPT within HCPCS is accomplished by dividing HCPCS into three levels with level I being identical to CPT, level II representing an additional set of nonphysician services such as ambulance rides, durable medical goods such as walkers, and level III representing additional “local codes” for use within specific jurisdictions such as state-level Medicaid programs or Medicare contractors. In any case, both HCPCS and CPT codes consist of five characters where, as mentioned, level I HCPCS and CPT codes are equivalent meaning that codes authored as CPT are simply understood as HCPCS level I codes by CMS without any transformation of the code itself.
ICD-9 code 185 and ICD-10 code C61 are the diagnostic codes used for malignant neoplasm of the prostate. Note that ICD-9 code 185 and ICD-10 code C61 contain three characters. 185 is all numeric and C61 is alpha-numeric. Most ICD-9 codes are numeric and all ICD-10 codes are alpha-numeric. Codes 185 and C61 include the various histological malignant tumors of the prostate namely, the common adenocarcinoma, transitional cell tumors, squamous cell tumors, and prostatic sarcoma. Other diagnoses often associated with neoplasms of the prostate include carcinoma in situ of the prostate, high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasm, high grade PIN, diagnostic codes 233.4 for ICD-9 and D07.5 for ICD-10, dysplasia of the prostate, PIN grades 1 and 2, diagnostic codes 602.3 for ICD-9 and N42.3 for ICD-10 ( Table 63.1 ). ICD-9 code 790.93 and ICD-10 code R07.2 indicate an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA). A PSA level is considered elevated when determined as elevated by the attending urologist not only by the determined level itself. For example, an elevation of PSA above four may or may not represent a true elevation. However, a PSA level of 0.5 several months after a radical prostatectomy would represent an elevation. In either example the diagnosis would be 790.93, elevation of PSA.
In any case, both HCPCS and CPT codes consist of five characters where, as mentioned, level I HCPCS and CPT codes are equivalent meaning that codes authored as CPT are simply understood as HCPCS level I codes by CMS without any transformation of the code itself.
Mapping laboratory tests to LOINC becomes laborious because the documentation necessary to do the mapping accurately is often missing from the E HR, as stated earlier; you have to gather the information through interviews with the laboratory staff. LOINC also has its idiosyncrasies: if a test for a substance is expressed in different units (eg, pounds vs. kilograms; milligrams vs. micrograms) its LOINC code does not change except when it is expressed in molar units (eg, micromoles per unit volume). This does not make sense from the scientific perspective: a mole is merely a different kind of unit, based upon the substance’s molecular weight in grams. In other words, mapping to LOINC is necessary but not sufficient for interoperation: all systems that share a particular test must have the data converted to an identical unit at some point. Otherwise, if pooled, “normal” numerical values may vary by several orders of magnitude.
PCS codes are compact but highly formulaic making them amenable to expansion into a tabular format to ease analysis. For example, it may be worthwhile to create a table with seven columns, which are populated with the seven character value-encoded terms from a patient’s given PCS code and an eighth column with patient’s unique identifier. This makes it possible to apply simpler SQL-based selection criteria to identify patients with similar procedure attributes.
Acute and chronic conditions characterized by external mechanical compression of the spinal cord due to extramedullary neoplasm; epidural abscess; spinal fractures; bony deformities of the vertebral bodies; and other conditions. Clinical manifestations vary with the anatomic site of the lesion and may include localized pain, weakness, sensory loss, incontinence, and impotence.
