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.
Outlines
π Introduction to ICD-10-CM Chapter 9 Coding
This paragraph introduces the focus on ICD-10-CM Chapter 9, which pertains to diseases of the circulatory system. It outlines the structure of the presentation, which includes official ICD-10 guidelines, clinical scenarios for coding practice, and a quiz. The importance of having completed the ICD-10-CM introduction webinar is emphasized, as the general guidelines and conventions discussed there will be used in the scenarios. The paragraph also highlights the change in coding for hypertension in ICD-10, condensing multiple ICD-9 codes into a single code (I10), and explains the relationship between hypertension and chronic kidney disease (I12) in ICD-10 coding.
π Approach to ICD-10-CM Coding for Specific Conditions
This paragraph delves into the specifics of ICD-10-CM coding for coronary artery disease and angina, emphasizing the use of combo codes that link CAD and angina. It provides a detailed example of coding for a patient with unstable angina due to atherosclerosis of a bypass graft, including the rationale behind the codes and their location in the ICD-10 manual. The paragraph also discusses the coding of hypertensive heart disease with heart failure, highlighting the need for additional codes to specify the type of heart failure and the stage of chronic kidney disease.
π§ Sequela of Cerebrovascular Disease Coding
The focus of this paragraph is on the coding of sequelae of cerebrovascular diseases, including the concept of laterality in ICD-10. It explains how to code for conditions such as aphasia and hemiparesis following a cerebral infarction, taking into account the affected side of the body and whether it is the patient's dominant or non-dominant side. The paragraph provides a practical example of coding for a patient with aphasia and left-sided hemiparesis as a sequela of a previous stroke, emphasizing the importance of accurately documenting the affected side and the patient's dominant side.
π Coding for Myocardial Infarctions in ICD-10
This paragraph discusses the changes in coding for myocardial infarctions (MIs) in ICD-10, including the revised time period for acute MI and the new meaning of 'subsequent' MIs. It provides examples of coding for acute non-ST elevation MI and subsequent MIs, highlighting the use of specific ICD-10 codes in conjunction with others to capture the full clinical picture. The paragraph also touches on the coding of old or healed MIs and the distinction between different types of atrial fibrillation in ICD-10.
π©Έ Hypertensive Disease and Related Conditions Coding
The paragraph addresses the coding of hypertensive diseases, including the combination of hypertensive heart disease with chronic kidney disease and congestive heart failure. It provides a detailed example of coding for a patient with stage 3 chronic kidney disease and heart failure due to hypertension, explaining the selection of the appropriate combo code and the additional codes needed to specify the type of heart failure and the stage of chronic kidney disease. The paragraph also discusses the coding of a patient with a history of coronary artery bypass graft and angina with spasm, including the importance of documenting the patency of the grafts.
π©Ί Clinical Scenarios and Quiz for ICD-10-CM Chapter 9
This paragraph presents a series of clinical scenarios for participants to practice ICD-10-CM coding, including a patient with atherosclerosis of the native coronary artery and a history of cerebral vascular infarction, as well as a patient with atherosclerosis of the right ankle native artery and a non-healing ulcer. It emphasizes the importance of accurate coding for conditions such as hypertension, myocardial infarctions, and sequelae of cerebrovascular diseases. The paragraph concludes with a quiz to test the participants' understanding of key ICD-10-CM coding concepts for Chapter 9.
