Presented by: Khaleelah Wagner, RHIA Staci LePage, RHIT ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Objectives Participants will:
Correctly assign diagnoses to ICD-9-CM codes Correctly identify primary/secondary diagnoses Identify correct sequence of diagnoses for coding assignment Identify documentation needed for ICD-10-CM coding We have also included some anatomy and physiology information on some of the slides ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

ICD-9 and ICD-10 History The 9th revision was published in The U.S. National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and CMS are responsible for maintaining ICD-9-CM. The World Health Organization (WHO) adopted ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision) in 1990 and it came into use in 1994 by other countries. The ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification) was developed under the oversight of National Center for Health Statistics in 1997 and has undergone several modifications since then.

ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM Coding Guidelines
The guidelines are approved by four organizations: American Hospital Association (AHA) American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) Review the official guidelines. The Public Health Service and CMS jointly publish the official ICD-9 Guidelines for Coding and reporting. You can download this information at ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Coding to Support Need for Medicare
The principal diagnosis and top 8 secondary diagnoses are entered onto the UB-04. Accurate reporting of ICD-9 CM codes effect: Medicare billing Quality measures Data collected Overall accuracy of MDS/RUG categories The main benefit of correct coding is validation of service delivered and reduced compliance risk. The industry is using more checks and balances to reject claims and review for fraud and abuse. Inaccurate codes will lead to rejection of claims and services. ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Coding Conventions and Guidelines
In this section, we are going to discuss basics on how to use your coding book as well as discussing some of the basic ICD-10 coding changes: -1st remember to review the clinical documentation and identify all of the residents dx’s, conditions or symptoms -then, look up the term that describes the residents dx/condition/symptom in the alpha index -finally, look up the selected code in the tabular list to make a definitive code selection -and remember, in many cases, proper coding requires more than one code I will show you why it is imperative that your coding book is utilized for obtaining correct ICD-9 codes – and no, Googling or only using your computer coding library are NOT sufficient! For ease of recognizing ICD-9 vs ICD-10 codes, the ICD-10 codes have been put into italicized brackets ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Coding from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM
Three to five characters Three to seven characters First digit is numeric but can be alpha (E or V) First character always alpha 2–5 are numeric All letters used except U Always at least three digits Character 2 always numeric: 3–7 can be alpha or numeric Decimal placed after the first three characters (or with E codes, placed after the first four characters) Alpha characters are not case-sensitive Decimal placed after the first three characters ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Alphabetic Index -2 Main terms in boldface font are listed in alphabetic order. Then, indented beneath the main term, any applicable subterm or essential modifier will be shown in alphabetical order. The indented subterm is always read in combination with the main term. Pneumonia 486 [J18.9] aspiration [J69.0] due to food [J69.0] For those of you who have perused an ICD-10 coding book, you will notice that each subcategory indentation has a vertical line, making it easier when looking up terms and subterms ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Alphabetic Index -3 Nonessential modifiers appear in parentheses ( ) and do not affect the code number assigned. The “-” at end of an index entry indicates that additional characters are required (ICD-10) Amblyopia (congenital) (ex anopsia) (partial) (suppression) [H53.00-] deprivation [H53.01-] ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Alphabetic Index -4 Manifestation codes are included in the alphabetic index by including a second code, shown in brackets [ ] directly after the underlying or etiology code which should always be reported first. Chorioretinitis – see also inflammation chorioretinal Tuberculosis [363.13] [A18.53] Page of the Instructor & Student Training Guide ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Tabular List Most but not all categories are subdivided into four or five character subcategories, e.g. (496 [J44.9] COPD or [I10] – Hypertension) The fourth character when placed after the decimal point of: 8 - (.8) is used to indicate “other specified”, and 9 - (.9) is usually reserved for “unspecified” Other specified glaucoma 365.9 Unspecified glaucoma K52.89 Other specified noninfective gastroenteritis and colitis K Noninfective gastroenteritis and colitis, unspecified ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Tabular List -4 (NEC) – “not elsewhere classified”
(NOS) – “not otherwise specified” Both NEC and NOS have their own codes Five and six character codes provider greater specificity or more information about the condition Codes must be assigned to the highest number of characters available or to the highest level of specificity, or bills will be rejected Page 12 of the Instructor & Student Training Guide ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Coding Convention Abbreviations
Not Elsewhere Classified “NEC” – A residual category, subdivision, or subclassification that provides a location for “other” types of specified conditions that have not been classified anywhere else in the code set. These residual codes may also contain the term “NEC” as part of their descriptor. 276.9 Electrolyte and fluid disorders, not elsewhere classified E87.8 Other Disorder of electrolyte and fluid balance, not elsewhere classified Page 19 of the Instructor & Student Training Guide ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Beginning of the chapter – 780-799 or R00-R99
Tabular List Notes Pertinent coding information is located at the beginning of chapters or any subdivisions that follow and apply to all the categories within it. Beginning of the chapter – or R00-R99 Beginning of a subchapter – or D37-D48 Page 13 of the Instructor & Student Training Guide ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Coding Convention Abbreviations -2
Not Otherwise Specified “NOS” - for use when the documentation of the condition identified by the provider is insufficient to assign a more specific code. Unspecified dementia without behavioral disturbance or Dementia, NOS F03.90 Unspecified dementia without behavioral disturbance – Dementia, NOS Page 19 of the Instructor & Student Training Guide ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Coding Conventions Punctuation
( ) Parentheses – supplemental words that may or may not be present. [ ] - Brackets – synonyms, alternative wordings or explanatory phrases. 401.9 Hypertension (essential) (primary) I10 – Essential (primary) hypertension Page 19 & 20 of the Instructor & Student Training Guide Fracture of lunate [semilunar] S62.12 Fracture of lunate [semilunar] ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Coding Conventions Punctuation -2
Colon ( : ) – used after an incomplete term which needs one or more of the modifiers following the colon. Used in both “includes” and “excludes” notes in which the words that precede the colon are not considered complete terms and therefore must be appended by one of the modifiers indented under the statement. 359.6 Symptomatic inflammatory myopathy in diseases classified elsewhere Code first underlying disease, as: malignant neoplasm ( ) rheumatoid arthritis (714.0) Page 20 of the Instructor & Student Training Guide ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Coding Conventions Punctuation -3
Dashes ( - ) in the Alphabetic Index, dashes at the end of a code indicates an incomplete code *ICD-10 only In the Tabular List, a dash preceded by a decimal point (.-) indicates an incomplete code *ICD-10 only Fracture, pathological ankle M carpus M84.44- J43 Emphysema Excludes 1: emphysematous (obstructive) bronchitis (J44.-) Page 20 of the Instructor & Student Training Guide ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Coding Convention Instructional Notes
Includes notes – used to clarify the condition included within a particular chapter, section, category, subcategory or code. They are not exhaustive and may include diagnoses not listed in the inclusion note. The word “includes” is not preceded by the list of terms at the code level. 531 Gastric ulcer Includes: ulcer, stomach K25 Gastric ulcer Includes: stomach ulcer (peptic) Page 21 of the Instructor & Student Training Guide ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Coding Convention Instructional Notes -2
Excludes – terms excluded from the code are to be coded elsewhere *ICD-9 Excludes 1 – not coded here. Used when two codes cannot occur together *ICD-10 355.9 Mononeuritis of unspecified site Excludes: Causalgia, upper/lower limb (355.71/354.4) G59 Mononeuropathy in disease classified elsewhere Excludes 1: Diabetic mononeuropathy (E09 – E14 with .41) Page 21 of the Instructor & Student Training Guide ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Excludes 2 – not included here. Used when the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time *ICD-10 only J01 Acute Sinusitis Excludes 1 – Sinusitis NOS (J32.9) Excludes 2 – Chronic Sinusitis (J32.0 – J32.8) Page 21 of the Instructor & Student Training Guide ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Coding Conventions Code First & Use Additional Code
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. The underlying condition is sequenced first followed by the manifestation. The “use additional code” note appears at the etiology and a “code first” note at the manifestation code. The next slide has a few examples ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

331.0 Alzheimer’s disease Use additional code to identify… 294 Persistent mental disorders due to conditions classified elsewhere Code first underlying condition G30 Alzheimer’s disease Use additional code to identify: dementia with behavioral disturbance (F02.81) dementia without behavioral disturbance (F02.80) F02 Dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere Code first the underlying physiological condition, such as: Alzheimer’s (G30.-) Page 21 of the Instructor & Student Training Guide ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Coding Conventions Cross Reference Notes
Cross reference notes are used in the Alphabetic Index to advise the coding professional to look elsewhere before assigning a code. There are three terms used: see, see also, see condition Hemorrhage, cranial – see Hemorrhage, intracranial Labyrinthitis (circumscribed) (destructive) (diffuse) (inner ear) (latent) (purulent) (suppurative) – see also subcategory H83.0 Hematoma (traumatic) (skin surface intact) (see also Contusion) Page 22 of the Instructor & Student Training Guide ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Coding Conventions Relational Terms
And – should be interpreted to mean “and/or” when it appears in the code title within the Tabular List. 451 Phlebitis and thrombophlebitis I80 Phlebitis and thrombophlebitis 453 Other venous embolism and thrombosis I82 Other venous embolism and thrombosis Page 23 of the Instructor & Student Training Guide ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Coding Conventions Relational Terms -2
With – should be interpreted to mean “associated with” or “due to” when it appears in the code title, the Alphabetical Index, or an instructional note in the Tabular List. The term “with” in the Alphabetical Index is sequenced immediately following the main term, not in alphabetical order. Asthma, asthmatic with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease /J44.9 493.2 Chronic obstructive asthma J44 Other chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Includes asthma with COPD Page 23 of the Instructor & Student Training Guide ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

General Coding Guidelines Signs and Symptoms
Codes that describe symptoms and signs, as opposed to diagnoses, are acceptable for reporting purposes when a related definitive diagnosis has not been established (confirmed) by the provider Chapter 16 of ICD-9-CM contains many, but not all codes for symptoms Chapter R00 – R99, for ICD-10-CM, Symptoms, Signs and Abnormal Clinical and Laboratory Findings, Not Elsewhere Classified contains many, but not all codes for symptoms Not in the instructor manual ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

General Coding Guidelines Integral Part of a Disease
Signs and symptoms that are associated routinely with a disease process should not be assigned as additional codes, unless otherwise instructed by the classification. Examples: Altered Mental Status due to UTI -599.0/N39.0 COPD with Shortness of Breath -496/J44.9 Not in the instructor manual ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

General Coding Guidelines Not an Integral Part of Disease -2
Signs and symptoms that may not be associated routinely with a disease process should be coded when present. Resident has a culture that returned difficile. The resident has diarrhea with additional symptoms of malaise, low-grade fever and frequent diarrhea. The resident was started on Flagyl. The resident is weak, dehydrated, and needs IV fluids. Infection, Clostridium, difficile, food borne (disease) /A04.7 Dehydration /E86.0 Not in the instructor manual ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

General Coding Guidelines Multiple Coding
In addition to the etiology/manifestation convention that requires two codes, there are other single conditions that also require more than one code. See “Use additional code” notes in the Tabular List at the code level. These are sequenced secondary to the condition code. ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

General Coding Guidelines Multiple Coding -2
“Code first” notes are under certain codes that are not specifically manifestation codes but may be due to an underlying cause. When there is a “code first” note and an underlying condition is present, the underlying condition is sequenced first. “Code if applicable, any causal condition” notes indicate that this code may be assigned as a principal diagnosis when the causal condition is unknown or not applicable. If the causal condition is known, then the code for that condition should be sequenced as the principal diagnosis or first-listed diagnosis. Example on next slide ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

General Coding Guidelines Multiple Coding Example
Multiple codes may be needed for sequela conditions. See Guideline #10. E. coli urinary tract infection Infection, Urinary (tract) 599.0/N39.0 Use additional code to identify infectious organism/agent Infection, bacterial, Escherichia coli [E. coli] (see also Escherichia coli) /B96.20 Not in the instructor manual “Use additional code” is part of the tabular, not alpha index ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

General Coding Guidelines Acute and Chronic Conditions
If the same condition is described as both acute (subacute) and chronic and separate subentries exist in the Alphabetic Index at the same indention level, code both and sequence the acute (subacute) code first Acute and chronic bronchitis Bronchitis, acute or subacute (with bronchospasm or obstruction) 466.0/J20.9 Bronchitis, chronic 491.9/J42 Not in the instructor manual ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

General Coding Guidelines Combination Code
A combination code is a single code used to classify: Two diagnoses, or A diagnosis with an associated secondary manifestation Type 2 diabetes with other specified complication /E11.69 Use additional code to identify complication A diagnosis with an associated complication Acute Bronchitis with COPD /J44.0 Two dx = Dx w/asso manifestation = ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

General Coding Guidelines Combination Code -2
Assign only the combination code that fully identifies the diagnostic conditions involved or when directed by the Alphabetical Index Multiple coding should not be used when the classification provides a combination code that clearly identifies all the elements documented in the diagnosis When a combination code lacks necessary specificity in describing the manifestation or complication, an additional code should be used as a secondary code Not in the instructor manual ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

General Coding Guidelines Late Effects/Sequela
“A residual effect (condition produced) after the acute phase of an illness or injury has terminated.” There is no time limit for the late effect or sequela code The residual may be apparent early or years later Generally requires two codes: The condition or nature of the late effect/sequela – first 438.5/I69.16 Other paralytic syndrome following intracerebral hemorrhage The late effect/sequela code – second 344.00/G82.5- Quadriplegia Not in the instructor manual ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

General Coding Guidelines Sequela
Exceptions to above guideline. In instances where the code for the late effect/sequela is followed by a manifestation code identified in the Tabular List and title, or the late effect/sequela code has been to include the manifestation. Example: 438/I69 Late Effects/Sequela of Cerebrovascular Disease The code for the acute phase of an illness or injury that led to the late effect/sequela is never used with a code for the late effect. Example is CVD w/late effect of hemiplegia = includes both the late effect and the manifestation code ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

General Coding Guidelines Reporting Same Dx More than Once
Each unique code may be reported only once for an encounter This applies to bilateral conditions when there are no distinct codes for laterality or two different conditions classified to the same ICD-9-CM or ICD-10-CM diagnosis code IE pressure ulcers – if a resident has x2 on the buttock, would only code x1 ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

General Coding Guidelines Laterality *ICD-10 only
Laterality Guidelines For bilateral sites, the final character of the codes indicates laterality. An unspecified site code is also provided should the side not be identified in the medical record. If no bilateral code is provided and the condition is bilateral, assign separate codes for both the left and right side Might need MD clarification if a bilateral code is needed ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

General Coding Guidelines Documentation of BMI and Pressure Ulcer Stages
Body Mass Index (BMI) and pressure ulcer stage codes may be based on the medical record documentation from clinicians who are not the patient’s provider, such as a dietician for BMI or licensed nurse for pressure ulcer staging. Associated conditions (overweight, obesity, or pressure ulcer) must be documented by the patient’s provider. If there is conflicting medical record documentation, either from the same clinician or different clinicians, the patient’s attending provider should be queried for clarification. Not in the instructor manual ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

General Coding Guidelines Syndromes
Follow the Alphabetical Index for guidance when coding syndromes If there is no guidance in the Alphabetical Index assign codes for the documented manifestations of the syndrome Look for the syndrome by its name in the alphabetical index first and then if not there, under syndrome Not in the instructor manual ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Coding Guidelines Complications
“Code assignment is based on the provider's documentation of the relationship between the condition and the care or procedure.” The guideline extends to any complications of care, regardless of the chapter the code is located in. Note: not all conditions that occur during or following medical care or surgery are classified as complications. Page 24 of the Instructor & Student Training Guide Will not always be able to look under “complications” in alpha index ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Coding Guidelines Complications -2
There must be a cause-and-effect relationship between the care provided and the condition, and an indication in the documentation that it is a complication. If the complication is not clearly documented, query the provider for clarification. Page 24 of the Instructor & Student Training Guide ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Principal Diagnosis Uniform Hospital Discharge Data Set/UHDDS Definition: “The condition established after study to be chiefly responsible for occasioning the admission of the resident to the facility” Two or more diagnoses equally meet the definition for principal diagnosis Uncertain diagnoses – probable, suspected, possible…are NOT coded ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Other Additional or Secondary Diagnoses
UHDDS defines other diagnoses as “all conditions that coexist at the time of admission, that develop subsequently, or that affect the treatment received and/or the length of stay. Diagnoses that relate to an earlier episode which have no bearing on the current stay are to be excluded” For purposes of the UB04, secondary diagnoses include the 2nd listed code thru the 9th listed code ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Infectious and Parasitic Diseases
We organized this presentation by chapters that are consistent with the chapters in your coding book This presentation is reflective of the top 100 diagnoses’ that are most commonly used in your facilities ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

HIV Infections Code Only Confirmed Cases
Code only confirmed cases of HIV “Confirmation” does not require documentation of positive serology, the provider’s diagnostic statement that the patient is HIV positive is sufficient Asymptomatic HIV is to be applied when the patient without documentation of symptoms is listed as being “HIV Positive”. Do not use this code if the terms AIDS is used or if the patient is treated for any HIV-related illness. If resident is admitted for an HIV-related condition, principal diagnosis should be 042 followed by add’l codes for all reported HIV-related conditions *higher Medicare payment ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Infectious Agents Certain infections are classified in chapters other than Chapter 1 and no organism is identified as part of the infection code An additional code from Chapter 1 should be used to identify the organism: 041/B95 Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and Enterococcus 041.8/B96, Other bacterial agents 079/B97 Viral agents ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Infectious Agents -2 An instructional note will be found at the infection code advising that an additional organism code is required Use an additional code to identify infectious agent ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Examples UTI with hematuria due to E.coli
599.0, UTI, hematuria, or N30.91, Cystitis unspecified with hematuria 041.4 Escherichia coli, or B96.2, Escherichia coli [E. coli] as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere Pneumonia due to streptococcus group B with sepsis 482.32, or J15.3, Pneumonia due to streptococcus, group B 995.91, or A41.9 Sepsis, unspecified organism Septicemia NOS ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Infections Resistant to Antibiotics
Identify all infections documented as antibiotic resistant Assign code V09.9-/Z16 Infection with drug-resistant microorganisms following the infection code This category is intended for use as an additional code for infectious conditions to indicate the presence of drug-resistance of the infectious organism, VRE, etc ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Septicemia, SIRS, Sepsis, Severe Sepsis, and Septic Shock
Septicemia and sepsis are often used interchangeably, but they are NOT considered synonymous terms. Septicemia refers to a systemic disease associated with the presence of toxins in the blood Systemic inflammatory response syndrome/SIRS refers to the systemic response to infection with symptoms of fever, tachycardia, tachypnea and leukocytosis Sepsis refers to SIRS d/t infection Severe sepsis refers to sepsis with associated acute organ dysfunction Septic shock refers to circulatory failure associated w/severe sepsis ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Coding of SIRS, Sepsis and Severe Sepsis for ICD-9-CM
Requires a minimum of 2 codes: A code for the underlying cause (such as infection; if unspecified septicemia, code 038.9) *sequence first And a code from subcategory *sequence second Severe sepsis requires an additional code for the associated acute organ dysfunction Either the term sepsis or SIRS must be documented to assign a code from subcategory ICD-10 has different guidelines each for sepsis, severe sepsis and SIRS ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

meaning urinary tract infection 599.0 Urosepsis – code to condition
Urosepsis Guidelines Urosepsis cannot be coded in ICD-10-CM. Guideline states: “The term urosepsis is a nonspecific term. It is not to be considered synonymous with sepsis. It has no default code in the Alphabetic Index. Should a provider use this term, he/she must be queried for clarification.” ICD-9-CM Alpha Index Urosepsis meaning sepsis meaning urinary tract infection 599.0 ICD-10-CM Alpha Index Urosepsis – code to condition ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Sepsis documentation to look for… Or query MD for…
Streptococcal sepsis , [A40.9] Sepsis d/t Staphylococcus aureus , [A41.01] Sepsis d/t other Gram-negative organisms , [A41.5] Severe sepsis [R65.20] Sepsis d/t MRSA , [A41.02] Sepsis d/t MSSA , [A41.01] d/t joint prosthesis (complication) , V43.6- [T84.5-] d/t indwelling catheter (complication) [T83.51] Other organism?? Remember, code 1st underlying infection… ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Severe Sepsis Coding Example
ICD-9-CM Severe sepsis due to hemophilus influenza with septic shock and acute renal failure (Hemophilus influenza septicemia) (Severe sepsis) (Septic shock) 584.9 (Acute renal failure) ICD-10-CM A41.3 (Hemophilus influenza sepsis) R65.21 (Severe sepsis with septic shock) N17.9 (Acute renal failure) ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Coding Note: In ICD-9-CM, when coding an infection due to an indwelling urinary catheter, the coding professional is instructed to use an additional code to identify the infection (besides coding the complication ). Additionally, if the infectious agent is also known, this should be assigned as an additional diagnosis. ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) Conditions
Selection and sequencing of MRSA codes (a) Combination codes for MRSA infection – when an infection due to MRSA has a combination code that includes the causal organism (e.g. sepsis, pneumonia) assign the appropriate combination code for the condition Do not code /B95.62 MRSA infection as the cause of diseases elsewhere or V09.0/Z16.11 Resistance to penicillin as additional codes (b) Other codes for MRSA infection – when there is a current infection and that infection does not have a combination code that includes the causal organism, assign the appropriate code to identify the condition along with code /B95.62 Do not use V09.0/Z16.11 Resistance to penicillin a. B95.62 is not needed because the combination code already includes the type of infection AND the MRSA organism. ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) Conditions -2
Other codes for MRSA infection c) Methicillin susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and MRSA colonization- means that MSSA or MSRA is present on or in the body without necessarily causing illness Assign code V02.54/Z Carrier or suspected carrier of MRSA, or V02.53/Z Carrier or suspected carrier of MSSA MRSA colonization status is fairly common on documentation from your acute hospital since they might be testing everyone for this upon admission to the hospital ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Neoplasms ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

General Neoplasm Guidelines
The Neoplasm Table in the Alphabetic Index should be referenced first. However, if the histological term is documented, that term should be referenced first, rather than going immediately to the Neoplasm Table, in order to determine which column in the Neoplasm Table is appropriate. Example: Epidermoid, in situ, Bowen’s type see Neoplasm, skin, in situ ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Neoplasm Table Explain each column in following slides…
ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Neoplasm Table -2 Malignant – Primary Original site of cancer
2 primary sites may be coded, if indicated Alphabetic Instructions will indicate if malignant Primary site unknown or unspecified Use 199.1/C80.1, Malignant (primary) neoplasm, unspecified ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Neoplasm Table -3 Malignant – Secondary
The site where the cancer spreads to (metastasizes) Primary cancer that spreads to a secondary site may be stated as: Primary site with metastasis to secondary site Secondary site with metastasis from primary site Secondary site due to metastatic primary site If secondary site unknown - use 199.1/C79.9, secondary malignant neoplasm of unspecified site ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Neoplasm Table -4 Ca in situ Benign
Atypical malignancy; encapsulated – has not spread Physician must indicate “in situ” or index will instruct you to code this type Benign Not malignant Does not metastasize ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Neoplasm Table -5 Uncertain Unspecified Behavior
Alphabetic index will instruct to use this type if appropriate – See neoplasm, by site, uncertain behavior Not used if it is the coder that is uncertain of the behavior Unspecified Behavior Not specified as malignant or benign Index instructions will direct here as appropriate – See neoplasm, by site, unspecified behavior ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Current vs. History of Neoplasm is coded as a current condition if being actively treated Diagnosed but no treatment administered Has been removed surgically but treatment is still being administered (for example, chemotherapy/radiation) Neoplasm is coded as a “history of” if Site has ben surgically removed and/or treatment has been completed AND There is no mention of recurrence Use V10/Z85 category to indicate a personal history of neoplasm Usually I find that facilities code the cancer as current, when upon further review of the chart, the tumor was removed or treated years ago…in which case hx of should be coded ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Diseases of the Blood and Blood-Forming Organs and Certain Disorders Involving the Immune Mechanism

Anemia Defined A condition in which your blood has a reduced number of circulating red blood cells usually defined as an abnormally low hemoglobin or hematocrit level. Caused by: Disease (malignancy, kidney failure, immunity) Blood loss Decreased blood formation or destruction of cells Nutritional Deficiency Drug induced types on next slide ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Stage IV: Full-thickness loss of skin with extensive destruction, tissue necrosis. And damage to bone, muscle or other supporting structures that are exposed. Pressure Ulcer Stage IV ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Suspected Deep Tissue Injury
Suspected Deep Tissue Injury: Area of localized, discolored intact skin that is purple or maroon-red in color. It may also appear as a blood filled blister resulting from damage to underlying soft tissue. Preceding skin changes may include skin that is painful, firm, boggy or that has a different temperature compared to the surrounding skin. Suspected Deep Tissue Injury ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Unstageable Pressure Ulcer
Unstageable Pressure Ulcer: Full-tissue thickness loss in which the base of the ulcer is covered by slough or an eschar and, therefore, the true depth of the damage cannot be estimated until these are removed. Unstageable Pressure Ulcer ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Diabetic foot ulcers occur as a result of various factors, such as mechanical changes in conformation of the bony architecture of the foot, peripheral neuropathy, and atherosclerotic peripheral arterial disease, all of which occur with higher frequency and intensity in the diabetic population. Nonenzymatic glycosylation predisposes ligaments to stiffness. Neuropathy causes loss of protective sensation and loss of coordination of muscle groups in the foot and leg, both of which increase mechanical stresses during ambulation. Diabetic foot lesions are responsible for more hospitalizations than any other complication of diabetes. Diabetes is the leading cause of nontraumatic lower extremity amputations in the United States, with approximately 5% of diabetics developing foot ulcers each year and 1% requiring amputations. Physical examination of the extremity having a diabetic ulcer can be divided into examination of the ulcer and the general condition of the extremity, assessment of the possibility of vascular insufficiency, and assessment for the possibility of peripheral neuropathy. A vascular surgeon and/or podiatric surgeon should evaluate all patients with diabetic foot ulcers so as to determine the need for debridement, revisional surgery on bony architecture, vascular reconstruction, or soft tissue coverage. Diabetic Ulcer ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Vascular Ulcers Vascular Ulcers: A skin ulcer is a type of wound that develops on the skin. A venous skin ulcer is a shallow wound that occurs when the leg veins don't return blood back toward the heart the way they should. This is called venous insufficiency. See a picture of abnormal blood flow caused by venous insufficiency. These ulcers usually form on the sides of the lower leg, above the ankle and below the calf. Venous skin ulcers are slow to heal and often come back if you don't take steps to prevent them. ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Cellulitis is a common bacterial skin infection
Cellulitis is a common bacterial skin infection. Cellulitis may first appear as a red, swollen area that feels hot and tender to the touch. The redness and swelling often spread rapidly. Cellulitis is usually painful. In most cases, the skin on the lower legs is affected, although the infection can occur anywhere on the body or face. Cellulitis can be caused by normal skin flora or by exogenous bacteria, and often occurs where the skin has previously been broken: cracks in the skin, cuts, blisters, burns, insect bites, surgical wounds, intravenous drug injection sites or sites of intravenous catheter insertion.

Acute and Chronic Kidney Failure
Acute kidney failure 584/N17 - develops rapidly over a few hours or a few days, can be fatal and requires intensive treatment. Acute kidney failure is most common in people who are already hospitalized, particularly in critically ill people who need intensive care.

Factors Influencing Health Status & Contact with Health Services

V Codes/Z Codes There are numerous categories for V Codes (Z codes in ICD-10) We will define the categories most frequently seen in post-acute care We will explore examples of the common codes from frequently used categories in LTC. We will practice coding conditions found in this chapter. ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

V Codes Represent reasons for encounters:
When person who may or may not be sick encounters health services for some specific purpose, i.e. to receive limited care or service for current condition, donate an organ or tissue, receive prophylactic vaccination, discuss problem When some circumstance or problem is present which influences person’s health status but is not a current illness or injury ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

V Codes Represent Reasons for Encounters
Identify significant past health histories Identify services provided following an acute care episode Identify services related to the provision of aftercare Identify delivery of specific healthcare services: screening, tests & vaccinations Identify presence of problem influencing health status but which is not a current illness (history of) ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Use of V Codes in any Healthcare Setting
V codes are for use in any healthcare setting V codes may be used as either first-listed or secondary diagnosis, depending on the circumstances of the encounter Certain V codes may only be used as first-listed or principal diagnosis *See the Official Coding Guidelines for a list of these codes I.C.21.c.16. (ICD-10) Z codes are NOT procedure codes, but indicate when aftercare is being given for a procedure recently done ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

V01/Z20 Contact / Exposure These codes are for patients who do not show any signs or symptoms of a disease but are suspected to have been exposed to it by close personal contact or are in an area where a disease is epidemic. This category also indicates contact with and suspected exposures hazardous to health *may be used as a first-listed or secondary code ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

V03 – V06/Z23 Inoculations and Vaccinations
Codes are for encounters for inoculations and vaccinations It indicates that a patient is being seen to receive a prophylactic inoculation against a disease There is only one code for inoculations, and if coded, need an additional procedure code to identify the vaccine We don’t usually code these, but you could ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Status Codes Status codes indicate that a patient is either a carrier of a disease or has the residual of a past disease or condition Includes presence of prosthetic or mechanical devices resulting from past treatment A status code is informative, because the status may affect the course of treatment or its outcome A status code is distinct from a history code (history code indicates that patient no longer has the condition) ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Resistance to Antimicrobial Drugs V09/Z16
NOTE: The codes in this category are provided for use as additional codes to identify the resistance and non responsiveness of a condition to antimicrobial drugs. Exclude 1: Code first the infection: MRSA infection (038.12/A49.02) MSSA infection (038.11/A49.01) MRSA pneumonia (482.42/J15.212) ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Carrier of Infectious Disease
V02/Z22 Carrier of Infectious Disease Colonization status Suspected carrier Example: V02.54/Z22.322 Carrier or (suspected) carrier of Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus MRSA colonization *Carrier = person that harbors the specific organisms of a disease without manifest symptoms and is capable of transmitting the infection Carrier = person that harbors the specific organisms of a disease without manifest symptoms and is capable of transmitting the infection ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Long Term (current) Drug Therapy V58.6-/Z79
Codes from this category indicate a patient’s continued use of a prescribed drug for the long term treatment of a condition or for prophylactic use. Not used for patients with addictions to drugs Used for patients receiving a medication for an extended period of time There is no definition of “Extended period of time” However, codes in this category are not used for short term conditions. Example: LT current use of antibiotics would not be used to treat the normal course of an infection ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Long Term (current) Drug Therapy
Includes: Long term (current) drug use for prophylactic purposes Exclude 1: Code also any therapeutic drug level monitoring (V58.83/Z51.81) V58.61/Z Long term (current) use of anticoagulants V58.66/Z Long term (current) use of aspirin V58.62/Z79.2 Long term (current) use of antibiotics V58.67/Z79.4 Long term (current) use of insulin Check the new drugs included and those that have been moved to this section from other sections of the ICD-9 code book. NSAIDS = non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (for pain and inflammation) Note that long term steroid use has a separate code for inhaled steroids, (those commonly used for COPD) and systemic steroids (Prednisone) LT use of insulin is NOT coded if type I DM Bisphosphonates are used to tx Osteoporosis ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep 192 ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Amputations Determine cause of amputation, traumatic vs acquired
Traumatic = due to an incident An amputation not identified as partial or complete should be coded to complete for traumatic amputations Use the appropriate 7th character in ICD-10: “D” subsequent encounter “S” sequela/late effect If acquired amputation, go to Absence, by site, acquired - -V49.6-V49.7/Z89 Currently we do not code traumatic amputations, since they were treated elsewhere, only code amputee status V49 or Z89 code Need emergency room doc to determine amputation status, if traumatic ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Acquired Absence of Limb Acquired Absence of Organ
Examples: V49.75/Z89.5- Amputation status below knee V49.76/Z89.6- Amputation status above knee V45.71/Z Acquired absence breast and nipple V45.73/Z90.5 Acquired absence of kidney Code after tx is completed and no residual effects/sequela ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Artificial Opening Status Transplanted Organ Status
Examples: V44.1/Z93.1 Gastrostomy status V44.3/Z93.3 Colostomy status V44.0/Z93.0 Tracheostomy status V42.0/Z94.0 Kidney transplant status V42.5/Z94.7 Corneal transplant status Note that there are added cystostomy status codes at Z93.5 given medical – surgical advances. Z93 codes, only use if NO tx for these sites is being given, otherwise Z43 codes should be used to capture mgmt of these sites (cleansing, etc) ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Organ Or Tissue Replaced By Other Means
Examples: V43.1/Z Presence of intraocular lens (s/p cataract removal surgery) V43.64/Z96.64 Presence of artificial hip joint (s/p joint replacement) V43.21/Z Presence of heart assist device (cardiac shunt, etc.) ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Other Postprocedural Status
Examples: V45.61/Z Cataract extraction status V45.87/Z98.85 Transplant organ removal status V45.11/Z99.2 Dependence on renal dialysis V45.12/Z Noncompliance with renal dialysis V45.01/Z95.0 Cardiac pacemaker status ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

History (of) Two types, family and personal
A history codes indicate that a patient no longer has the condition, and is no longer receiving any treatment, but has the potential for recurrence, and therefore may require continued monitoring History codes are acceptable on any medical record, as the history of an illness is important information that may alter the type of treatment ordered There is limited value to code family history in SNFs due to the age of the patients Don’t get family hx instead of personal hx – look at the tabular to confirm code! Family hx Z80-Z84 Personal hx Z85-Z87 ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

History (of), Personal V10.3/Z85.3 Personal history breast cancer
V12.04/Z Personal history MRSA infection V12.51/Z Personal hx of venous thrombosis or embolism V13.51/Z Personal hx pathological fx V15.51/Z Personal hx traumatic fracture (healed) V15.88/Z Personal history of falling *at risk for falling Hx UTI Z87.440 Hx corrected cleft hlip/palate Z87.730 Hx traumatic brain injury Z no residuals ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Personal History of Medical Treatment

ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Aftercare Aftercare visit codes cover situations when the initial treatment of a disease has been performed and the patient requires continued care during the healing or recovery phase, or for the long-term consequences of the disease. The aftercare V code should not be used if treatment is directed at a current, acute disease or injury. Aftercare codes are generally first listed to explain the specific reason for the encounter. This Z code category will be the most used in post acute care ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Aftercare + Status Codes
Status V codes may be used with aftercare V codes to indicate the nature of the aftercare or to indicate the surgery for which the aftercare is being performed Example: V58.73/Z Encounter for surgical aftercare following surgery on the circulatory system V45.81/Z95.1 Aortocoronary bypass status – “CABG” status ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Aftercare Categories V55/Z43 Attention to artificial openings V54 Orthopedic aftercare *code to condition in ICD-10 V57 Care involving the use of rehabilitation procedures *code that may only be principal/first-listed dx *only use one code in this category (if > one therapy, code multiple therapy V57.89) *not coded in ICD-10 V58/Z48 Aftercare following surgery ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Attention to Artificial Openings Encounter for Other Aftercare
V55.0/Z Attention to tracheostomy V55.3/Z Attention to colostomy *includes toileting/cleansing of sites V58.31/Z48.01 Attention to surgical dressings V58.32/Z48.02 Attention to sutures Good code to use to show that facility is taking care of an artificial opening site Z terminology changed from ICD-9 – now includes mgmt of device – facility is managing device ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Orthopedic Aftercare V54.13 Aftercare for healing traumatic fracture of hip V54.81 Aftercare following joint replacement *Use additional code to identify the joint (V43.-) V54.82 Aftercare following explanation of joint prosthesis V54.09 Other aftercare involving internal fixation device V54.89 Other orthopedic aftercare *code to condition in ICD-10 There are separate codes to identify the aftercare for this procedure on the shoulder, hip and knee joints Note the Excludes 1 for acquired absence of joint following prior explanation of the particular joint prosthesis and joint prosthesis explanation status. Z47.81 is a new code ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Acute Fractures vs. Aftercare – ICD-9 Coding
Traumatic fractures are coded using the acute fracture codes ( ) while the patient is receiving active treatment for the fracture. Examples of active treatment are: surgical treatment, emergency department encounter, and evaluation and treatment by a new physician. Fractures are coded using the aftercare codes (V54) for encounters after the patient has completed active treatment of the fracture and is receiving routine care for the fracture during the healing or recovery phase. ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Fracture Coding for ICD-10
Code fracture (no aftercare codes) Obtain documentation indicating specific fracture type and site Use 7th character: D = subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing G = subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing K = subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion P = subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion S = sequel/late effect *do not use “A” unless fracture was NOT treated elsewhere, this is for the initial encounter ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Aftercare Following Surgery for Neoplasm
V58.42/Z48.3 Aftercare following surgery for Neoplasm *Use additional code to identify the neoplasm If an organ was removed, in total or partial, use a code for acquired absence of the organ V42/Z90 This code overrides the codes in category Z Encounter for surgical aftercare following surgery on a specific body system, when a tumor is removed ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Aftercare following Surgery on Specified Body Systems V58.7-/Z48.81-
NOTE: These codes identify the body system requiring aftercare. They are for use in conjunction with other aftercare codes to fully explain the aftercare encounter. The condition treated should also be coded if still present. Excludes Aftercare following organ transplant V58.44/Z48.2- Excludes Aftercare following surgery for neoplasm V58.42/Z48.3 Note that a few of the systems have been divided in two from codes in ICD-9. The digestive system was all inclusive in ICD-9. In ICD-10 we have separate codes for surgery on the teeth and oral cavity and one for the remaining parts of the digestive system. ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Aftercare Following Surgery to Specified Body Systems
V58.71/Z Sense organs *conditions classifiable to , V58.73/Z Circulatory system *conditions classifiable to V58.75/Z Teeth, oral cavity and digestive system *conditions classifiable to V Musculoskeletal system *conditions classifiable to *code to condition in ICD-10 *Should not need to use V58.49 Other specified aftercare following surgery **get those operative reports! ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Encounter for Miscellaneous Care
V66.7/Z51.5 Encounter for palliative care V66.2/Z51.89 Convalescence following chemotherapy ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Procedure for Updating Codes
At Quarterly Care Conference, look at facesheet and physician orders Resolve any diagnoses that are NOT current Make sure that you have MD documentation to support ALL current diagnoses in the record. Start querying MD’s for any additional documentation needed for ICD-10 (laterality, etc.) ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep

Tips for Correct Coding
Use code book! Always count the number of digits and compare with the number of digits required *use tabular listing in code book Avoid unspecified codes *Remember: payers may reject payment based on missing digits ICD-9 to ICD-10 Prep
