ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
ICD-9 and ICD-10 History
The 9th revision was published in 1977. 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)
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15 6
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 01-13-15
Coding from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CMICD-9-CM 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)
Always at least three digits
Alpha characters are not case-sensitive Decimal placed after the first three characters
Alpha characters are not case-sensitive
8
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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 507.0 [J69.0]
due to food
507.0 [J69.0]
9
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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) 368.00 [H53.00-]
deprivation 368.02 [H53.01-]
10
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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 017.3 [363.13]
[A18.53]
11
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15 12
Tabular List
Most but not all categories are subdivided into four or five character subcategories, e.g. (496 [J44.9] COPD or 401.9 [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”
365.89 Other specified glaucoma 365.9 Unspecified glaucomaK52.89 Other specified noninfective gastroenteritis and colitisK52.9 Noninfective gastroenteritis and colitis, unspecified
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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
13
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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
14
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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 – 780-799 or R00-R99 Beginning of a subchapter – 235-238 or D37-D48
15
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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.
294.20 Unspecified dementia without behavioral disturbance or Dementia, NOS

17
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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 elsewhereCode first underlying disease, as:
malignant neoplasm (140.0-208.9)rheumatoid arthritis (714.0)

22
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15 23
Coding ConventionsCode 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.
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
Coding Convention Instructional Notes -3
331.0 Alzheimer’s diseaseUse 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.-)
24
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15 25
Coding ConventionsCross 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, intracranialLabyrinthitis (circumscribed) (destructive) (diffuse) (inner ear) (latent) (purulent) (suppurative)– see also subcategory H83.0 Hematoma (traumatic) (skin surface intact) (see also Contusion)
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15 26
Coding ConventionsRelational Terms
And – should be interpreted to mean “and/or” when it appears in the code title within the Tabular List.
451 Phlebitis and thrombophlebitisI80 Phlebitis and thrombophlebitis
453 Other venous embolism and thrombosisI82 Other venous embolism and thrombosis
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15 27
Coding ConventionsRelational 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 493.2/J44.9493.2 Chronic obstructive asthmaJ44 Other chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Includes asthma with COPD
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15 28
General Coding GuidelinesSigns 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
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15 29
General Coding GuidelinesIntegral 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/N39.0COPD with Shortness of Breath -496/J44.9
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15 30
General Coding GuidelinesNot 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) 008.45/A04.7 Dehydration 276.51/E86.0
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
General Coding GuidelinesMultiple 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.
31
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
General Coding GuidelinesMultiple 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.
32
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
General Coding GuidelinesMultiple 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/agentInfection, bacterial, Escherichia coli [E. coli] (see also Escherichia coli) 041.04/B96.20
33
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15 34
General Coding GuidelinesAcute 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 bronchitisBronchitis, acute or subacute (with bronchospasm or obstruction) 466.0/J20.9Bronchitis, chronic 491.9/J42
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15 35
General Coding GuidelinesCombination 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 250.80/E11.69o Use additional code to identify complication
A diagnosis with an associated complication o Acute Bronchitis with COPD 491.22/J44.0
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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
36
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
General Coding GuidelinesLate 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
o 438.5/I69.16 Other paralytic syndrome following intracerebral hemorrhage
● The late effect/sequela code – secondo 344.00/G82.5- Quadriplegia
37
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
General Coding GuidelinesSequela
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.
38
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
General Coding GuidelinesReporting 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
39
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
General Coding GuidelinesLaterality *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
40
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
General Coding GuidelinesDocumentation 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.
41
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
General Coding GuidelinesSyndromes
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
42
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
Coding GuidelinesComplications
“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.
43
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
Coding GuidelinesComplications -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.
44
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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
45
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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
46
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
INFECTIOUS AND PARASITIC DISEASES
47
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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
48
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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
49
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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
50
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
Examples
UTI with hematuria due to E.coli● 599.0, 599.70 UTI,
hematuria, orN30.91, Cystitis unspecified with hematuria
● 041.4 Escherichia coli, orB96.2, 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, orA41.9 Sepsis, unspecified organism Septicemia NOS
51
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
Infections Resistant to Antibiotics
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
52
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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
53
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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 995.9- *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 995.9-
54

56
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
Severe Sepsis Coding Example
ICD-9-CM
• Severe sepsis due to hemophilus influenza with septic shock and acute renal failure
• 038.41 (Hemophilus influenza septicemia)
• 995.92 (Severe sepsis)• 785.52 (Septic shock)• 584.9 (Acute renal failure)
ICD-10-CM
• Severe sepsis due to hemophilus influenza with septic shock and acute renal failure
• A41.3 (Hemophilus influenza sepsis)
• R65.21 (Severe sepsis with septic shock)
• N17.9 (Acute renal failure)
57
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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
996.31). Additionally, if the infectious agent is also known, this should be
assigned as an additional diagnosis.
58
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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 o Do not code 041.12/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 041.12/B95.62o Do not use V09.0/Z16.11 Resistance to penicillin
59
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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 illnesso Assign code V02.54/Z22.322 Carrier or suspected carrier of MRSA, or
V02.53/Z22.321 Carrier or suspected carrier of MSSA
60
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
Neoplasms
61
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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
62
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
Neoplasm Table
63
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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
o Use 199.1/C80.1, Malignant (primary) neoplasm, unspecified
64
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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:o Primary site with metastasis to secondary siteo Secondary site with metastasis from primary siteo Secondary site due to metastatic primary site
● If secondary site unknown - use 199.1/C79.9, secondary malignant neoplasm of unspecified site
65
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
Neoplasm Table -4
Ca in situ● 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
66
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
Neoplasm Table -5
Uncertain ● 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
67
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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)

Factors Influencing Health Status & Contact with Health Services
181
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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.
182
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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
183
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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)
184
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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)
185
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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
186
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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
187
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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)
188
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15
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.

“D” subsequent encounter
“S” sequela/late effect
If acquired amputation, go to Absence, by site, acquired --V49.6-V49.7/Z89

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.
201
ICD-9 TO ICD-10 PREP 01-13-15

Acute Fractures vs. Aftercare – ICD-9 Coding
Traumatic fractures are coded using the acute fracture codes (800-829) 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.

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

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.)

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
