A type 2 excludes note represents "not included here". A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( Z79.84) and the excluded code together.
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code Z79.84 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
Z79.84 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of long term (current) use of oral hypoglycemic drugs. The code Z79.84 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
If you have type 1 diabetes, you must take insulin because your body no longer makes it. Different types of insulin start to work at different speeds, and the effects of each last a different length of time. You may need to use more than one type.
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:
Z79.84 is exempt from POA reporting - The Present on Admission (POA) indicator is used for diagnosis codes included in claims involving inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals. POA indicators must be reported to CMS on each claim to facilitate the grouping of diagnoses codes into the proper Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG). CMS publishes a listing of specific diagnosis codes that are exempt from the POA reporting requirement. Review other POA exempt codes here.
ICD codes are used globally to track health statistics and causes of death. This is helpful for gathering data on chronic illnesses as well as new ones. For example, a new code was added to the ICD-10 in 2020 to track vaping-related illnesses. 3
ICD codes are also used in clinical trials to recruit and track subjects and are sometimes, though not always, included on death certificates. 4
Having the right code is important for being reimbursed for medical expenses and ensuring the standardized treatment for your medical issue is delivered.
When your doctor submits a bill to insurance for reimbursement, each service is described by a common procedural technology (CPT) code, which is matched to an ICD code. If the two codes don't align correctly with each other, payment may be rejected.
The 10th version of the code, in use since 2015, is called the ICD-10 and contains more than 70,000 disease codes. 1 The ICD is maintained by the World Health Organization (WHO) and distributed in countries across the globe.
The ICD receives annual updates in between revisions, which is sometimes reflected in the code title. For example, the 2020 updated version is the ICD-10-CM. The ICD-11 was approved by the WHO in 2019 and goes into effect in 2022. 2
Most ICD-9 codes are three digits to the left of a decimal point and one or two digits to the right of one. For example:
GERD, controlled with meds (Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a digestive disease in which stomach acid or bile irritates the food pipe lining. Treated with Nexium.)
Chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs. Treated with Dexamethasone, Spiriva, Xopenex, and pulmonary function tests.)
Rationale: In this example the patient has diabetes with renal manifestations, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) stage 2, and polyneuropathy. These are reported with the use of combination codes. In the Alphabetic Index look for Diabetes, diabetic/type 2/with/chronic kidney disease which directs the coder to E11.22. Also, in the Alphabetic Index look for Diabetes/type 2/with polyneuropathy which directs the coder to E11.42. The patient has hyperlipidemia with medication, in the Alphabetic Index look for hyperlipidemia which directs the coder to E78.5. The patient is continuing to have neck pain and muscle spasms of the cervical spine. In the Alphabetic Index look for Pain/neck NEC which directs the coder to M54.2 and then Spasm/muscle NEC which directs you to code M62.838. This would be coded as "other muscle spasm" as the site is in the documentation and there is no specific diagnosis for this condition. The patient is taking Wellbutrin for depression. In the Alphabetic Index look for depression/major depressive/recurrent/moderate which takes the coder to F33.1. The patient has chronic airway obstruction and chronic bronchitis with emphysema. Look for Bronchitis/chronic/emphysematous refers you to code J43.9. Review coding clinic 2019 quarter 1. Next the patient has acute rhinitis, in the Alphabetic Index look for Rhinitis/acute which directs the coder to J00. The patient also has chronic GERD, in the Alphabetic Index look for Disease/gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) which directs the coder to K21.9. Hypertrophy of turbinates is found in the Alphabetic Index under Hypertrophy, hypertrophic/nasal/turbinate, J34.3. Verify all code selections in the Tabular List. Patient was a past smoker. Look for History/personal/nicotine dependence referring you to code Z87.891.
