Briefing: Above and Beyond ICD-9-CM – The DoD Extender Codes
Date: 24 March 2010
Time: 1610–1700
2010 UBO/UBU ConferenceTurning Knowledge Into Action Objectives
Find out if anyone in the class is using the data provided by some of the DoD extenders (and realize that some of these really do help the patients)
Be aware of the variety of DoD extenders (if you don’t even know it exists, how do you know to look for it)
Be able to give an example of when the creation, marketing and extra work to collect would be worth the data collected
2
2010 UBO/UBU ConferenceTurning Knowledge Into Action How the Class Will Work
On the desk is a quiz – fill it out A segment of DoD Extenders will be introduced I’ll bore you with details If you have an applicable joke, raise your hand
– Puns and dry humor are appreciated Anyone who may fall asleep, put your head down so you
won’t fall over when you do fall asleep The next segment of DoD Extenders will be introduced At the end we will awaken the sleepers

2010 UBO/UBU ConferenceTurning Knowledge Into Action DoD Extenders
Why How Who uses Who collects DoD Extender Management – ask requestor annually
– 1. There could be a better way to collect (e.g., CPT category II codes, ICD-9-CM code request)
– 2. Are the data are still needed– 3. Are the data are providing the information that was
anticipated– 4. Is the cost to collect worth the resources to collect
4
2010 UBO/UBU ConferenceTurning Knowledge Into Action Viral Hepatitis
070xxx Possible extenders:
– 0 - Lab test confirmed – 1 - Lab test not reported or negative– 2 - Lab test not performed
Are not used for the other than viral (found in the liver part of the ICD-9-CM around 571) hepatitis
Will not be needed when the Ancillary SADR laboratory feed includes results – In the next couple of years, before ICD-10, hopefully
HEDIS measures are only for Hepatitis C
5
2010 UBO/UBU ConferenceTurning Knowledge Into Action Viral Hepatitis
Show of hands – do you know what organization needs/uses these data?
Let’s run the questions– 1. There could be a better way to collect (e.g., CPT
category II codes, ICD-9-CM code request)– 2. Are the data are still needed– 3. Are the data are providing the information that was
anticipated– 4. Is the cost to collect worth the resources to collect
What about the CPT category II hepatitis codes? Jokes? Stories?
6
2010 UBO/UBU ConferenceTurning Knowledge Into Action
Kawasaki vs. Other Acute Febrile Mucocutaneous Lymph Node Syndrome
446.1 Possible extenders:
– 0 - Kawasaki – rare, usually in children 2-5 years old, usually male, inflammation of blood vessels, usually initial treatment is in the hospital
– 9 - Other acute febrile mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome
In FY09 SIDR (Standard Inpatient Data Record), with a 446.1x diagnosis in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th diagnosis - there were – 39 total 446.1x dispositions – 38 were 446.1 0– 1 was 446.1 9 (a 4 year old male with a 3-day length
of stay)

2010 UBO/UBU ConferenceTurning Knowledge Into Action Asthma
493xx Possible extenders:
– 0 – Unspecified; 1 – Mild; 2 – Mild Persistent; 3 – Moderate; 4 - Severe
Needed IN THE PAST for HEDIS measures– (Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set)
Even though there is space, these are not in ICD-10-CM– Could it be that the CPT category II suffice?
HEDIS concerned with “Appropriate Medications for People with Asthma” – Looking for persistent asthma patients with
appropriate medications prescribed

2010 UBO/UBU ConferenceTurning Knowledge Into Action Asthma
327,000 outpatient encounters in FY09 for asthma 1005F,1038F,1039F,4015F (the CPT asthma Category
II) only coded 1,291 times in FY09; but as you can see, 327,916 asthma codes…

still the case?
13
2010 UBO/UBU ConferenceTurning Knowledge Into Action Attempted Termination of Pregnancy
