Takeaways
- ๐ Chapter seven of ICD-10-CM pertains to diseases of the eye and adnexa, with codes starting with the letter 'H', differing from ICD-9 which used numbers starting with '3'.
- ๐ ICD-10 has expanded the number of codes for eye diseases due to increased anatomic specificity, including laterality which is crucial for eye conditions.
- ๐ซ The term 'senile' is no longer used for cataracts; it has been replaced with 'age-related'.
- ๐ For glaucoma, ICD-10 codes may detail the type, affected eye, and stage of the condition, with a seventh character indicating the stage.
- ๐๏ธ In cases of bilateral glaucoma with the same type and stage, a single code is used, e.g., H 40.33 X 1 for secondary glaucoma due to eye trauma.
- ๐ When both eyes have different stages or types of glaucoma, separate codes are reported, with the more severe stage coded first.
- ๐ ICD-10 does not specify laterality for primary open-angle glaucoma, whereas it is essential for other types.
- ๐ For coding scenarios, it is necessary to refer to the ICD-10-CM coding manual and use the conventions and guidelines from the introduction to ICD-10-CM.
- โธ๏ธ During the webinar, participants are encouraged to pause and practice coding clinical scenarios using the provided examples.
- ๐ก The United States began using ICD-10 on October 1, 2015, making it crucial to verify claims and check remits for denials based on ICD-10 conversion.
- ๐ The presentation concludes with a quiz to reinforce learning and ends with resources for further ICD-10 training.
Q & A
What is the focus of Chapter 7 in ICD-10-CM?
-Chapter 7 of ICD-10-CM focuses on diseases of the eye and adnexa.
How has the coding for glaucoma changed from ICD-9 to ICD-10?
-In ICD-10, glaucoma codes include the type of glaucoma, the affected eye, and the stage of the glaucoma, which is designated by a seventh character. The term 'senile' is no longer used for cataracts; the new term is 'age-related.'
What is the significance of laterality in coding conditions of the eye?
-Laterality is extremely important in coding conditions of the eye as it specifies whether the condition is affecting one or both eyes and can influence the type and number of codes used.
How is bilateral glaucoma coded in ICD-10-CM?
-If a patient has bilateral glaucoma of the same type and same stage, only one code is used, which includes the type of glaucoma, the location (bilateral), and the stage, such as H 40.33 X 1 for secondary glaucoma due to eye trauma.
What should be done if a patient has glaucoma in both eyes but with different stages in each eye?
-In such cases, two codes are used, with the first code being the more severe stage, followed by the code for the less severe stage, specifying the affected eye.
How is a patient's primary open-angle glaucoma in the left eye coded if it is in the severe stage?
-The code for a patient with severe stage primary open-angle glaucoma of the left eye is H 40.11 X 3.
What is the correct ICD-10-CM code for a patient with glaucoma due to bilateral central retinal vein occlusion?
-The first code is H 40.53 X 0, for glaucoma secondary to other eye disorders, bilateral, stage unspecified. The second code is H 34.08132, for central retinal vein occlusion, bilateral.
How would you code a 62-year-old woman diagnosed with mild stage narrow angle glaucoma in both eyes?
-The code for this condition is H 40.20 X 1, for unspecified primary angle closure glaucoma, mild stage.
What are the ICD-10-CM codes for a 28-year-old male with non-ulcerative bilateral blepharitis of the upper eyelids?
-The codes are H 01.00.001 for unspecified blepharitis, right upper eyelid and H 01.00.004 for unspecified blepharitis, left upper eyelid.
How is a patient's continued eye problems following cataract surgery, diagnosed as bolus carrot-top in the left eye, coded?
-The code for this condition is H 59.01.12, for carat apathy bolus following cataract surgery, left eye.
What should be the approach when a patient's stage of glaucoma progresses during an admission?
-The most critical form of the condition, which is the severe stage, should be coded when a patient's stage of glaucoma progresses during an admission.
What is the ICD-10-CM code for luxation of the globe of the right eye?
-The code for luxation of the globe of the right eye is H 44.08.12.
Outlines
๐ Introduction to ICD-10-CM Chapter 7
This paragraph introduces Chapter 7 of ICD-10-CM, which focuses on diseases of the eye and adnexa. 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 an introduction to ICD-10-CM is emphasized, as the conventions and guidelines from it are necessary for completing the coding scenarios. The chapter's codes start with the letter 'H', differing from ICD-9 where they started with '3' and were part of the nervous system chapter. The expansion of codes in ICD-10 due to increased anatomical specificity, including laterality for eye conditions, is highlighted. The paragraph also discusses changes in terminology, such as the replacement of 'senile' with 'age-related' for cataracts and detailed coding for glaucoma, including the use of a seventh character for stage and laterality.
๐ Coding Examples and Guidelines for Glaucoma
This paragraph delves into the specifics of coding for glaucoma, a condition with various types and stages. It explains the coding process for unilateral and bilateral glaucoma, emphasizing the use of a single code for both eyes when the type and stage are the same. The paragraph also addresses scenarios where the type or stage of glaucoma differs between eyes, requiring separate codes. Additionally, it provides examples of how to code specific cases of glaucoma, such as secondary glaucoma due to eye trauma and primary open-angle glaucoma with different stages in each eye.
๐ฉโโ๏ธ Clinical Scenarios and Coding Practice
This section presents several clinical scenarios for coding practice, including a patient with primary open-angle glaucoma, a patient with glaucoma due to bilateral central retinal vein occlusion, and a patient with unspecified primary angle closure glaucoma. The paragraph guides the reader through the process of looking up conditions in the ICD-10-CM manual, identifying the correct codes, and understanding the significance of the seventh character for stage. It also touches on the necessity of coding the underlying eye disorder in addition to the glaucoma code.
๐ Quiz and Additional Coding Examples
The paragraph concludes with a quiz to test the understanding of the material covered, including questions on coding for glaucoma stage progression and luxation of the globe. It provides answers to the quiz questions, reinforcing the importance of reporting the most critical form of a condition and the correct coding for specific eye conditions. The paragraph also discusses the transition to ICD-10 in the United States, emphasizing the importance of verifying claims and checking for denials post-conversion. It ends with a call to action for further ICD-10 training and resources.
