01 Long term (current) use of anticoagulants.
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.
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%.
The ICD-10 section that covers long-term drug therapy is Z79, with many subsections and specific diagnosis codes.
NCD - Partial ThromboplastinTime (PTT) (190.16)
For long term use of Plavix the most appropriate code to assign would be Z79. 02. Plavix (Clopidogrel Bisulfate) is an antiplatelet agent.
Long-term therapy with LMWH has been shown to be as effective as warfarin in the treatment of venous thrombosis, except in those patients with a concurrent malignancy. In this subgroup, LMWH was shown to be more effective than oral therapy.
Patient Education Patients on anticoagulant therapy must be educated about their increased risk for bleeding, monitoring for bleeding, managing bleeding if it occurs, and drug-specific information.
Oral vitamin K antagonists have been the drugs of choice for this phase of treatment for their efficacy and for the potential of oral administration. In patients with cancer-associated venous thromboembolism, long-term treatment with low-molecular-weight heparin should be preferred over vitamin K antagonists.
Long-term medicine Any medicine you have to take for three or more months to control symptoms or to prevent complications from a condition. Examples of conditions that might require long-term medicine include: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, arthritis, heart conditions, and long-term pain.

Brachytherapy is a type of radiation therapy used to treat cancer. It places radioactive sources inside the patient to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. This allows your doctor to use a higher total dose of radiation to treat a smaller area in less time.
Listen to pronunciation. (BRAY-kee-THAYR-uh-pee) A type of radiation therapy in which radioactive material sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters is placed directly into or near a tumor. Also called implant radiation therapy, internal radiation therapy, and radiation brachytherapy.
Side effects of of brachytherapyErection problems. Brachytherapy for prostate cancer can cause problems getting and keeping an erection. Infertility. Having brachytherapy on its own can still cause infertility, but the risk may be lower than with external beam radiotherapy. Bowel problems. Effects on the bladder.
Long term side effects of internal radiotherapy (brachytherapy)Bladder inflammation. You might feel that you have to pass urine more often than usual. Problems passing urine. Leakage of urine. Erection problems (impotence) Frequent or loose poo. Inflammation of the back passage (proctitis) Cancer of the bladder or lower bowel.
Prostate brachytherapy may cause side effects, including:Difficulty starting urination.Frequently feeling an urgent need to urinate.Pain or discomfort when urinating.Needing to urinate at night.Blood in the urine.Not being able to empty your bladder completely.Erectile dysfunction.Bleeding from the rectum.
You may have treatment twice a day for 2 to 5 days or once a week for 2 to 5 weeks. The schedule depends on your type of cancer. During the course of treatment, your catheter or applicator may stay in place, or it may be put in place before each treatment.
