ICD-10-CM ICD-10-PCS Presented by: Virginia Wernet, RHIT, CCS
Coding Concepts Too, LLC P.O. Box Erie, MI 48133
2
History of ICD-10-CM ICD-10-CM classification system was developed by the national Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) as a clinical modification to the ICD 10 system developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), primarily as a unique system for use in the United States for morbidity and mortality reporting.
3
Organization ICD-9-CM has 17 chapters with supplementary classifications V and E codes. ICD-10-CM presents 21 chapters, including preventative and external cause codes within the body of the chapter.
4
Organization Continued
ICD-10-CM also contains a Table of Drugs and Chemicals, an External Cause Index, and a Table of Neoplasms. Chapters are subdivided into subchapters or blocks that contain 3 character categories that form the foundation of the code. Decimal points follow the 3 characters and additional characters may be necessary to code to the highest level of specificity.
5
Organization Continued
ICD10-CM is structured to include many more combination codes (identifying etiology and/or manifestations) than ICD-9-CM, resulting in fewer cases requiring more than one code. Examples: H Cataract with neovascularization, bilateral M00.0 Staphylococcal arthritis and polyarthritis Use additional code (B95.6-B95.7) to identify bacterial agent

Coding Guideline I.C.19.e.5.c Underdosing
Underdosing refers to taking less of a medication than is prescribed by a physician or a manufacturer’s instruction. For underdosing, assign the code from categories T36-T50. Noncompliance (Z91.12-Z91.13) or complication of care (Y63.61, Y63.8-Y63.9) codes are to be used with an underdosing code to indicate intent, if known.
10
Scenario #1 This 85 year old patient is seen in the hospital with a diagnosis of congestive heart failure due to hypertensive heart disease. Patient also has Stage V chronic kidney failure. The patient had been prescribed Lasix previously but admits that he forgets to take his medication every day. This is due to his advanced age. Code(s):_______________________________________ I13.2, I50.9, N18.5, T50.1X6A, Z91.130
11
Scenario #1 Rationale The combination code for heart and renal disease is used in the situation because both heart and renal disease exist along with the hypertension. According to the Official Coding Guidelines for hypertensive heart disease, the causal relationship is implied with the word “hypertensive.” An additional code from category I50 is used to identify the type of heart failure. The use “additional code” statement under code I13.2 indicates the use of the N18.5 code to indentify the stage of the chronic kidney disease. In ICD-10-CM, underdosing of medication can now be identified.
12
Atherosclerotic Coronary Artery Disease and Angina
ICD-10-CM has combination codes for atherosclerotic heart disease with angina pectoris. The subcategories are I25.11 Atherosclerotic heart disease of a native coronary artery with angina pectoris I25.7 Atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft and coronary artery of transplanted heart with angina pectoris.
13
Scenario #2 Code(s):_______________________________
This 63 year old male is being seen for treatment of his unstable angina. This gentleman has a history of 2-vessel coronary artery bypass approximately 18 months ago. A recent cardiac catheterization shows continued evidence of coronary arteriosclerosis but both of the bypass grafts are patent. Also, of note, is that this patient suffered a cerebrovascular infarction three years ago which resulted in right-side (dominant) hemiparesis. Code(s):_______________________________ I25.110, I69.351, Z95.1
14
Scenarion#2 Rationale The coronary artery disease of the native vessel is coded because the previous cardiac catheterization showed that the bypass grafts are patent. Also, per the Official Coding Guidelines, ICD-10-CM has combination codes for atherosclerotic heart disease with angina pectoris. When using one of these combination codes it is not necessary to use an additional code for angina pectoris. A causal relationship can be assumed in a patient with both atherosclerosis and angina pectoris, unless the documentation indicates the angina is due to something other than atherosclerosis.
15
Intraoperative and Postprocedural Cerebrovascular Accident
Proper code assignment depends on whether it was an infarction or hemorrhage and whether it occurred intraoperatively or postoperatively. If it was a cerebral hemorrhage, code assignment depends on the type of procedure performed. Medical record documentation should clearly specify the cause and effect relationship between the medical intervention and the CVA in order to assign this code.
16
Sequelae of Cerebrovascular Disease
Category I69, Sequelae of Cerebrovascular disease - used to indicate conditions classifiable by to category I60-I67 Codes from Category I69 with codes from I60-I67 , may be coded if patient has a current CVA and deficits from an old CVA. Code Z86.73 – Personal history of TIA
17
Scenario #3 This pleasant gentleman is seen in the clinic to follow up from a previous stroke. He suffered a CVA 6 months ago which left him with left-sided hemiparesis and aphasia. The patient will be referred to outpatient rehabilitation for speech, physical, and occupational therapy. Code(s):______________________________ I69.320, I69.354
18
Acute Myocardial Infarction
ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and Non ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) Acute myocardial infarction, unspecified AMI documented as nontransmural or subendocardial but site provided Subsequent acute myocardial infarction
19
Scenario #4 This 54 year old female with a previous acute non-ST anterior wall MI and on chronic medication for her atrial fibrillation presents to the ER two weeks later and was diagnosed with an acute inferior wall MI. She is still being monitored following her initial heart attack three weeks earlier and continues on medication for her AFIB. She will be transferred to a larger facility for cardiac catheterization and possible further intervention. Which of the following codes sets is correct? I21.19, I21.4, I48.0 I22.1, I25.2, I48.0 I21.19, I25.2, I48.0 I22.1, I21.4, I48.0 Answer D

CHAPTER 13: Diseases of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue (M00-M99)
Site and laterality Acute traumatic versus chronic or recurrent musculoskeletal conditions Coding of Pathologic Fractures Osteoporosis
21
Site and Laterality Most codes in Chapter 13 have site and laterality designations. The site represents either the bone, joint or the muscle involved. There is a “multiple sites” code available, as well as multiple codes for the different sites involved. Bone versus Joint- If the portion of the bone affected is at the joint, the site designation will be the bone, not the joint.
22
Coding Guideline I.C.13a Site and Laterality
Most of the codes within Chapter 13 have site and laterality designations. The site represents either the bone, joint, or muscle involved. Coding Note: ICD-10-CM has three different categories for pathologic fractures- due to neoplastic disease, due to osteoporosis, and due to other specified disease.
23
Scenario # 5 This 76 year old man, originally diagnosed with left upper lobe carcinoma five years ago, is seen for a fracture of the shaft of the right femur. Eight months ago, he was diagnosed with metastatic bone cancer and this fracture is a result of the metastatic disease. This patient’s lung cancer was treated with radiation and is no longer under treatment. What are the correct code assignments for this case? M84.553A, C79.51, Z85.11 M84.551A, C79.51, Z85.11 M84.553A, C79.51, C34.12 M84.551A, C79.51, C34.12
24
Acute Traumatic Versus Chronic or Recurrent Musculoskeletal Conditions
Chronic and recurrent conditions should generally be coded from chapter 13. Any current , acute injury should be coded from chapter 19. If it is difficult to determine from the documentation in the record, query the physician.
25
Coding of Pathologic Fractues
7th character A is for use as long as the patient is receiving active treatment for the fracture. Examples: Surgical Treatment, ED Encounter, Evaluation/Treatment by physician. 7th character D is for encounters after the patient has completed active treatment. The other 7th characters, are to be used for subsequent encounters associated with treatment of problems and healing.
26
Osteoporosis Osteoporosis without pathological fracture
-Category M81, patients with osteoporosis without a pathological fracture due to the osteoporosis. Osteoporosis with current pathological fracture -Category M80, patients with current pathological fracture at the time of encounter.
27
Coding Guideline I.C.13.d.2 Osteoporosis with Current Pathological Fracture
Category M80, Osteoporosis with current patholgical fracture, is for patients who have a current pathologic fracture at the time of an encounter. The codes under M80 identify the site of the fracture. A code from categoryM80, not a traumatic fracture code, should be used for any patient with know osteoporosis who suffers a fracture, even if that patient had a minor fall or trauma, if that fall or trauma would not usually break a normal, healthy bone.
28
Scenario #6 Julia is an 80 year old female with senile osteoporosis. She presents to the ED complaining of severe back pain with no history of trauma. X-rays revealed pathological compression fractures of several lumbar vertebrae. Julia’s medications are reviewed and this includes Benicar for hypertension and long term use of Coumadin for atrial fibrillation. Code(s):___________________________________

Important Coding Guideline
A11. Many of the terms used to construct PCS codes are defined within the system. It is the coder’s responsibility to determine what the documentation in the medical record equates to in the PCS definitions. The physician is not expected to use the terms in PCS code descriptions, nor is the coder to query the physician when the correlation between the documentation and the defined PCS terms is clear.
