Infection Control came around and made us take down every single holiday decoration on the entire floor. I put in for a cardiology referral because obviously their hearts are three sizes too small 💗😡
I work at an ENT office. We have started using ICD10data.com but it doesn't always show when two codes can't be billed together, and I prefer using the book.
I am planning to get a new book ( I current book is 2018) Should I get
ICD-10-CM for Physicians with Guideline from Optume360
Or
ICD-10-CM Code Book, 2022 from AHIMA
I can not tell any real difference between the two that would make one better than the other.
The Optume360 I might get cheaper but it says on the book October 1 2021 to September 30 2022
I know that ICD-10 was released in 1994 and that version 11 came into effect this year. But I couldnt find anywhere info whether (and when) there were any updates/ changes to the ICD-10 mental health chapter before the relase of ICD-11. I know the last ICD-10 was marked as 2016 version, but I dont believe that means every chapter was updated. I want to know if everything in the ICD-10 V chapter is really almost 30 years old or not.
Hi there! School SLP here.
I have a high school student with an initial IEP meeting coming up who was diagnosed with Unspecified hearing loss, bilateral. I’m wondering what evaluation findings would you usually use this code for versus a different H90-94 code? Is it for if there’s conductive and/or sensorineural along with suspected (but unable to confirm) processing issues or something? Her medical Hx is unremarkable except for otitis media with tubes placed when in pre-K.
I’ve never seen this code before and don’t have access to her audiology report. Is there potentially something outside of conductive/sensorineural/mixed loss with this code?
I just want to make sure I offer appropriate IEP/504 accommodation recommendations. For any potential issues outside of those associated with the hearing loss types listed above. Thanks!
What the hell is the difference between F44.81 and F44.89? Everything I look Up Says they Translate to Factitious disorders in the ICD9.
Encounter for chemotherapy for patient with Hodgkin Lymphoma: Z51.11 (Chemotherapy) C81.90 (HL) *Cheif reason for encounter is chemotherapy, therefore Z51.11 is first listed.
Encounter for renal dialysis in end-stae renal failure patient (Alrighty, I got this..): Z99.2 (Dialysis) N18.6 (Renal Failure)
BUT I'M WRONG. N18.6 goes first. But Dialysis is the reason for encounter! Why??
I'm a biller, not a coder, so I don't feel like I need the most up to date books. But i do a lot of coding review for my clinicians and need to be educated when speaking to payer reps. I use the online lookup a lot, but sometimes it would be nice to have the books to look at codes side by side and compare. Wondering if theres a place similar to a used bookstore for university textbooks, but for coding.
I thought about writing out all the prefixes and medical terms in my notes but I'm not sure if it would be entirely necessary. I just want to be prepared and make sure I'm putting down helpful notes and not wasting my time writing out all these terms and prefixes that I'm never going to look at. Any advice?
My question is not on the codes itself, but on the order. The question is thus:
Premature crack baby born in hospital to cocaine dependent mother (birthweight 1247g); neonatal withdrawal; cocaine dependence.
The correct codes are in the order of:
✓ P07.14 (Low birth weight)
✓ P04.41 (Maternal cocaine use)
✓ P96.1 (Newborn withdrawal)
✓ F14.20 (Cocaine)
I know substance (cocaine) usually goes last, but baffled by the order of the preceding three. Anyone know?
To clarify, I don't have the book yet since the course doesn't give them out until much later. Using the CDC's online ICD-10-CM.
Hello all!
I am a fairly new PT and have a billing question. How many "medical" ICD-10 codes do you include in an eval? If you get a referral that says "referred for gait instability" but no med diagnosis from the physician (such as s/p R TKA), do you use medical diagnoses from the patient's chart for the medical ICD-10 codes, such as DMII, Parkinson's, etc.? Or is gait instability considered the medical diagnosis? How many of the medical diagnoses ICD-10 codes should you/do you include in the eval? My understanding is that "gait instability" would be included in the ICD-10 codes for the PT related diagnoses, but not the medical? Please help!
Sorry if my question is confusing... It's because I'm confused, honestly! Thank you all so much for reading this far!
Hi guys,
I am curious which one of these two manuals you prefer the most as a clinical psychologist and why?
Any of my PT colleagues in USA knows about changes in ICD 10 where M545 (low back pain ) is non billable since Oct 1, 2021.
The new 2022 ICD-10 updates help chiropractic practices provide accurate documentation & reporting of diagnoses and procedures. Read this blog to know the latest changes to ICD-10 codes for chiropractors.
This is the current prevailing science on Mental Health If you want to talk about older models of care HMU because I'm a history buff. If you think it's outdated discuss how to update terms I'm also a pedant. But I operate on best available information and expect the same from rational minded individuals.
