ICD-9 Limitations Diagnosis has changed. We know more.
Many sections of the codes are full. Uses obsolete technology leading to inaccurate and limited data Need more description. Sprain/Strain Takes in Global data Medicine advances; codes can’t
20
Inside ICD-10 ICD–10–CM is entirely alphanumeric (all letters except “U” are used) ICD–10–CM codes may be up to seven characters in length Some diseases have been reclassified in ICD-10-CM New features have been added to ICD-10-CM
21
ICD-10-CM Pitfalls Confusion between letters and numbers Examples:
S01.80xA 10D00Z1 Number Letter 3 S O 1 I 2 Z
22
ICD-10-CM 1993 the 10th Edition of the International Classification of Disease (ICD-10) was issued by the World Health Organization (WHO) WHO is responsible for maintaining the ICD-10 Each country is responsible for adapting the ICD-10 to suit its own country’s needs.

ICD-10-CM Exempt Worker’s Compensation, auto and personal injury insurances are exempt from HIPAA and therefore may not be using ICD-10. Your office may have two sets of diagnostic codes
26
ICD-9 Diagnostic Codes ICD-10 Diagnosis Codes 3-5 Characters in length
Approximately 17,000 codes Approximately 70,000 available codes First digit may be alpha; 2nd through 5th is numeric Character 1 is alpha; character 2 and 3 are numeric; character 4 through 6 can be either. All letters except U are used. Limited space for adding new codes Flexible for adding new codes (“x” added) Lacks detail Very specific Lacks laterality Has laterality Difficult to analyze data due to non-specific codes Specificity improves coding accuracy and quality of data for analysis Codes are non-specific and do not adequately define diagnoses needed for medical research Detail improves the accuracy of data used for medical research including co-morbidities Does not support interoperability because it is not used by other countries Supports interoperability and the exchange of health data between other countries and the U.S. © Copyright 2015, ICD-10 Coding and Documentation 4 Hours, Mario Fucinari DC, MCS-P
27
ICD-10-CM Increased Specificity in ICD-10
Increased Detail in Documentation Code to the Highest Level of Specificity
28
ICD-10-CM Specificity Unspecified codes have acceptable uses in some cases. Unspecified codes should be reported when they most accurately reflect what is known about the patient’s condition at the time of that particular encounter.
29
ICD-10-CM Specificity It would be inappropriate to select a specific code that is not supported in the documentation. Further testing just to come to a more specific code is not always medically necessary Avoid excessive use of non-specific codes, since it decreases the quality of the data.
30
ICD-10 Specificity Side of Dominance Trimesters and weeks in pregnancy
Right, Left, or ambidextrous (defaults to the right coding) Trimesters and weeks in pregnancy Stages of healing Laterality All paired organs or structures Ordinality Is this the initial or subsequent visit for the complaint? Are these symptoms the sequela of the initial event? © Copyright 2015, ICD-10 Coding and Documentation 4 Hours, Mario Fucinari DC, MCS-P
31
ICD-10 Specificity Documentation of diagnoses and procedures
Codes must be supported by the patient’s health documentation ICD-10-CM codes are more specific , therefore the documentation has to be more specific Requires more documentation to support codes Expect a 15% increase in documentation time (per AAPC) Revenue Impacts due to specificity Denials Additional Documentation © Copyright 2015, ICD-10 Coding and Documentation 4 Hours, Mario Fucinari DC, MCS-P

ICD-10-CM General Coding Guidelines:
ICD-10-CM codes should be listed at their highest level of specificity and characters. a. Use three digit codes only if there are no four digit codes within the coding category. These are the heading of a category of codes. b. Use the 4, 5, 6, or 7 digit code to the greatest degree of specificity available. These provide further detail
76
ICD-10-CM Basic Coding Guidelines:
Codes that describe symptoms and signs are only acceptable if that is the highest level of diagnostic certainty documented by the doctor. No other diagnosis has been established (confirmed) by the provider. Signs and symptoms that are associated routinely with a disease process should not be assigned as additional codes, unless otherwise instructed by the classification. Additional signs and symptoms that are not routinely associated with a disease may be reported.
77
General Coding Guidelines
“Code signs and symptoms when a related definitive diagnosis has not been established (confirmed) by the provider” (section I.B.6) mostly in ICD-9 R00 to R99 in ICD-10 Example: R45.2 Unhappiness © Copyright 2015, ICD-10 Coding and Documentation 4 Hours, Mario Fucinari DC, MCS-P
78
General Coding Guidelines
“Signs and symptoms that are associated routinely with a disease process should not be assigned as additional codes” (section I.B.7) Example: R68.84 Jaw pain would not be coded with M26.62 temporomandibular joint arthralgia “Additional signs and symptoms that may not be associated routinely with a disease process should be coded when present.” (section I.B.8) Example: R11.0 Nausea and S13.4xxA Sprain of ligaments of the cervical spine © Copyright 2015, ICD-10 Coding and Documentation 4 Hours, Mario Fucinari DC, MCS-P
79
ICD-10-CM Basic Coding Guidelines:
Coding for diagnoses that are probable, suspected, likely or questionable are not to be coded, because they indicate uncertainty. Rule out and working diagnosis are not to be coded. Other documentation related coding guidance involves diagnoses documented as “borderline" at the time of discharge. Unless the classification provides a specific entry (e.g., borderline diabetes), borderline diagnoses are coded as confirmed without regard to the care setting (i.e., inpatient versus outpatient). The guidelines clarify that borderline conditions are not considered uncertain diagnoses. As always, coders are encouraged to query the provider for clarification whenever the documentation is unclear regarding the condition.
80
ICD-10-CM Basic Coding Guidelines:
Code all documented conditions that coexist at the time of the visit that REQUIRE OR AFFECT patient care. Do not code conditions that no longer exist.
81
ICD-10-CM General Coding Guidelines:
Coding for diagnoses that are probable, suspected, rule out, etc are not allowed for outpatient s. The term “first-listed” diagnosis is now to be used instead of the term “principle” diagnosis. The acute condition should always be listed first.
82
ICD-10-CM General Coding Guidelines:
Each unique ICD-10 diagnostic code may be reported only once. If you use a left and right code, you only list the diagnosis with these sides once. If the condition is bilateral and there is no bilateral code, t hen you have to list the left and right code separately. If a condition is borderline, then it is listed as confirmed.
83
ICD-10-CM An unspecified code should be reported only when it is the code that most accurately reflects what is known about the patient’s condition at the time of that particular encounter. It is inappropriate to select a specific code that is not supported by the health record documentation or conduct medically unnecessary diagnostic testing in order to determine a more specific code.

ICD-10 Cast of Characters
Placeholder “X” character The ICD-10-CM utilizes a placeholder character “X” The “X” is used as a 5th and /or 6th character placeholder at certain 6 and/or 7 character codes to allow for future expansion.
89
ICD-10 Cast of Characters
7th Characters Certain ICD-10-CM categories have applicable 7th characters. The applicable 7th character is required for all codes within the category, or as the notes in the Tabular List instruct. The 7th character must always be the 7th character in the data field. If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, a placeholder X must be used to fill in the empty characters.
90
ICD-10-CM Basic ICD-10 Coding Guidelines: A – initial encounter for that provider D – Subsequent encounter S – Sequela (late effects)
91
ICD-10 7th Characters A - The initial encounter character is used as long as the patient is receiving active care for that condition.
92
ICD-10 –CM 7th Characters D = Subsequent encounter – After the patient has received active treatment of the condition and is receiving routine care for the condition during the healing or recovery phase. Chiropractic treatments and physiotherapy are examples of subsequent encounters. Maybe.
93
ICD-10 -CM 7th Characters S = Sequela – Complications or conditions that arise as a direct result of a condition.

General Coding Guidelines
The seventh character (encounter): Which character is correct? Is the patient receiving active treatment? Is the patient in the middle of an active treatment plan? Has the patient’s condition stabilized? Is the patient receiving supportive care? Is the patient in a healing or recovery phase? Is the patient being treated for a complication that is the direct result of some other condition? © Copyright 2015, ICD-10 Coding and Documentation 4 Hours, Mario Fucinari DC, MCS-P

ICD-10 Definitions •“Includes”
This note appears immediately under a three-digit code title to further define, clarify, or give examples of the content of a code category . •“Excludes” Excludes 1 – is used when two conditions cannot occur together or “NOT CODED HERE!” Mutually exclusive codes; two conditions that cannot be reported together. Excludes 2 – indicates “NOT INCLUDED HERE.” Although the excluded condition is not part of the condition, it is excluded from, a patient may have both conditions at the same time. The excluded code and the code above the excludes can be used together if the documentation supports them.
97
ICD-10 Conventions “Excludes” Excludes1 – consider these codes instead (you can only use 1) (mutually exclusive) Excludes2 – consider these codes in addition (you may use 2 or more) (Not included) © Copyright 2015, ICD-10 Coding and Documentation 4 Hours, Mario Fucinari DC, MCS-P

ICD-10 Definitions “Code First/Use additional code”
Provides instructions on how to “sequence” the codes. Signals that that an additional code should be reported to provide a more complete picture of the diagnosis. •“Code Also” Alerts the coder that more than one code may be required to fully describe the condition. The sequencing of the codes depends on the severity and/or the reason for the encounter.

Chapter 13: Rules for Diseases of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue (M00 – M99)
M refers to "diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue." After the letter are two numbers, separated by a decimal, which add more specific information. For example, if you see M21, the 21 refers to "other acquired deformities of limbs“ (pg 181) and the numbers to the right indicate where and what side. Example: M21.172
119
Chapter 13: Rules for Diseases of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue (M00 – M99)
Site and laterality: For some conditions where more than one bone, joint or muscle is usually involved, such as osteoarthritis, there is a “multiple sites” code. If there is not a multiple sites code, then use multiple codes to indicate the multiple sites involved. Code by site first, then condition.
120
Chapter 13: Rules for Diseases of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue (M00 – M99)
Site Indicates the bone, joint or muscle involved There may be “multiple site” codes If there is not a multiple site code available, and you have multiple sites involved, then you have to use multiple codes to indicate the different sites involved
121
Chapter 13: Rules for Diseases of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue (M00 – M99)
Arthritis and osteoarthritis have both site and laterality designations in ICD-10-CM It includes the type of arthritis such as primary, secondary or post-traumatic.

143
Obstetrics In 2012, codes were added to indicate the weeks of gestation of the pregnancy. An additional code is used in category Z3A weeks of gestation are added to provide additional information about the pregnancy. Example: 18 weeks of gestation is Z3A.18 © Copyright 2015, ICD-10 Coding and Documentation 4 Hours, Mario Fucinari DC, MCS-P
144
Obstetrics Codes for unspecified trimester should never be reported unless it is impossible to determine the trimester from the medical record documentation. The “unspecified trimester” code should rarely be used. This is only used when it is not possible to obtain clarification. It is likely that using the “unspecified trimester” code will trigger a denial. Trimesters are counted from the first day of the last menstrual period. © Copyright 2015, ICD-10 Coding and Documentation 4 Hours, Mario Fucinari DC, MCS-P
145
Obstetrics A code from category Z3A, weeks of gestation are for use on the maternal record to indicate the specific week of gestation of the pregnancy.

Chapter 19: Injury, Poisoning, and Certain Other Consequences of External Causes (S00 – T88)
Most categories in chapter 19 have a 7th character extension requirement for each applicable code. Most categories, except for fractures, will require an A – Initial encounter D – subsequent encounter S – sequela as the 7th character.
152
Chapter 19: Injury, Poisoning, and Certain Other Consequences of External Causes (S00 – T88)
7th character A: Initial encounter Used when the patient is receiving active treatment for the condition Surgical treatments Emergency department encounter Evaluation and treatment by a new physician
153
Chapter 19: Injury, Poisoning, and Certain Other Consequences of External Causes (S00 – T88)
7th character D: Subsequent encounter After treatment in the active phase of care and the patient is in the healing or recovery phase of care Examples of this care are cast change, medication adjustment, or other aftercare following treatment of the injury or condition (rehabilitation).
154
Chapter 19: Injury, Poisoning, and Certain Other Consequences of External Causes (S00 – T88)
7th character S: Sequela For complication or conditions that arise as a direct result of a condition, such as deconditioning of muscle after an injury. When using the Sequela codes, it is necessary to use both the injury code that precipitated the sequela and the code for the sequela itself. The “S” is added to the injury code only, not the sequela code.
155
Chapter 19: Injury, Poisoning, and Certain Other Consequences of External Causes (S00 – T88)
7th character S: Sequela The 7th character “S” identifies the injury responsible for the sequela. The specific type of sequela is sequenced first on the claim form, followed by the injury code.

177
Coding of Injuries Initial encounters generally require four codes
Place of occurrence (Y92) Used only once, at the initial encounter Use it only if you know where was the location of the injury Never us an unspecified code here
178
Coding of Injuries Initial encounters generally require four codes
Activity codes (Y93) Used only once, at the initial encounter Use it only if you know what the activity is Never us an unspecified code here Used in conjunction with a place of occurrence code (Y92)
179
Coding of Injuries Initial encounters generally require four codes
External cause status Used only once at the initial encounter Was the patient working at the time of the injury? Military? Hobby? A work-related activity is any activity for which payment or income is derived. Use Y93.9 if the activity of the patient is not stated or is not applicable

Clinical Example: A patient is a delivery person for a florist
Clinical Example: A patient is a delivery person for a florist. While delivering a bouquet of flowers to a person at a workplace, they slip and fall on untreated ice in the parking lot, at the workplace. In the fall, they fracture their wrist. Is the party at fault the workplace or is it a worker’s compensation claim? While they are deciding, the hospital does not want to wait, so they say to file it with the health insurance. ICD-10 codes are used. Three weeks later, it is decided that the claim will be handled by the worker’s compensation carrier, since the hotel insurance argued that it was an act of God.
