Q & A

What is the focus of Chapter 9 in ICD-10-CM?
-Chapter 9 of ICD-10-CM is focused on diseases of the circulatory system.
How has the coding for hypertension changed from ICD-9 to ICD-10?
-ICD-10 has simplified the number of hypertension codes by replacing the specific codes for benign, malignant, and unspecified hypertension with a single code, I10, which includes terms like high blood pressure, arterial hypertension, benign, malignant, or systemic hypertension.
What is the correct ICD-10 code for a patient with hypertension and chronic kidney disease?
-For a patient with hypertension and chronic kidney disease, the correct ICD-10 code is I13.0, which is a combination code for hypertensive heart and chronic kidney disease with heart failure and stage 1 through stage 4 chronic kidney disease or unspecified chronic kidney disease.
How does ICD-10 handle the coding of coronary artery disease and angina?
-ICD-10 combines coronary artery disease with angina into single codes specifying the type of coronary artery disease or CAD and the type of angina. If a combo code is used, it is not necessary to use a separate code for angina or CAD, as ICD-10 assumes a relationship between the two.
What is the ICD-10 code for a patient with a history of two-vessel coronary artery bypass graft?
-The ICD-10 code for a patient with a history of two-vessel coronary artery bypass graft is Z95.1, which indicates the presence of an aorta coronary bypass graft.
How does ICD-10 address the concept of laterality in coding for cerebrovascular diseases?
-ICD-10 includes the side of the body affected and whether it is the patient's dominant or non-dominant side in the codes for cerebrovascular diseases. If the affected side is documented but the patient's dominant or non-dominant side is not specified, the default is dominant for the right side and non-dominant for the left side.
What is the ICD-10 code for a patient with a non-healing ulcer due to atherosclerosis of the right leg?
-The ICD-10 code for a non-healing ulcer due to atherosclerosis of the right leg is I70.233, which specifies atherosclerosis of native arteries of the right leg with ulceration of the ankle.
What is the significance of the note under subcategory I70.23 in the tabular list?
-The note under subcategory I70.23 in the tabular list instructs coders to use an additional code to identify the severity of the ulcer, which is found in category L97.
How does the timing of a subsequent myocardial infarction (MI) differ between ICD-9 and ICD-10?
-In ICD-9, the term 'subsequent' meant in a subsequent episode of care. In ICD-10, 'subsequent' refers to an MI that has occurred within four weeks of a previous MI, changing the time frame from eight weeks to four weeks or less.
What is the ICD-10 code for a patient with a history of cerebral vascular infarction resulting in hemiparesis?
-The ICD-10 code for a patient with a history of cerebral vascular infarction resulting in hemiparesis is I69.35, which indicates hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction.
What is the correct ICD-10 code for a patient with atherosclerosis of a native coronary artery with documented spasm?
-The correct ICD-10 code for a patient with atherosclerosis of a native coronary artery with documented spasm is I25.111, which specifies atherosclerosis of native coronary artery with angina pectoris, with documented spasm.

In the context of the video, the webinar format is used to educate healthcare professionals on the ICD-10-CM coding guidelines for diseases of the circulatory system, providing both instructional content and opportunities for practical application through coding exercises.

💡Essential Hypertension

Essential hypertension, now referred to as primary hypertension in ICD-10 (code I10), is a form of high blood pressure with no identifiable underlying cause. It is a chronic condition that requires lifelong management and is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. The video script highlights the new ICD-10 coding for hypertension, which simplifies the coding process by combining previously separate codes for benign, malignant, and unspecified hypertension into a single code.

💡Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a long-term condition where the kidneys do not function as well as they should, gradually losing their ability to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood. In the context of the video, CKD is discussed in relation to hypertensive CKD, where hypertension is a contributing factor to the kidney disease. The ICD-10-CM coding system requires the use of specific codes to indicate both the hypertension and the stage of CKD.

💡Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a type of heart disease caused by the buildup of plaque (atherosclerosis) in the coronary arteries, which supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart. This condition can lead to angina or heart attacks. In the ICD-10-CM coding system, CAD is combined with angina into single codes that specify the type of CAD and the presence of angina, if applicable. The video script provides examples of how to code for CAD and related conditions.

💡Myocardial Infarction (MI)

Myocardial infarction (MI), commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked, usually by a blood clot. This can damage or destroy part of the heart muscle. The ICD-10-CM coding system has specific codes for different types of MIs, including acute MI, subsequent MI, and complications of MI. The video script provides detailed guidance on how to code for MIs, including the changes in the definition of acute MI and subsequent MI in ICD-10 compared to ICD-9.

💡Cerebrovascular Disease

Cerebrovascular disease refers to conditions that affect the blood vessels of the brain, including stroke and transient ischemic attacks. The ICD-10-CM system provides specific codes for different types of cerebrovascular diseases and their sequelae, such as hemiplegia and aphasia. The video script discusses the concept of laterality in coding for cerebrovascular diseases, which involves specifying the side of the body affected and whether it is the dominant or non-dominant side.

💡Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis is a chronic condition characterized by the buildup of plaque (atheroma) inside the arteries, which can lead to reduced blood flow and oxygen supply to tissues and organs. In the context of the video, atherosclerosis is a key component of several circulatory system diseases, such as coronary artery disease and peripheral artery disease. The ICD-10-CM coding system includes specific codes for atherosclerosis involving different arteries, which require accurate documentation of the affected artery and any associated symptoms or conditions.
