In fact, you can use it on multiple claims. D — Subsequent encounter. This describes any encounter after the active phase of treatment, when the patient is receiving routine care for the injury during the period of healing or recovery. This generally includes rehabilitation therapy. S — Sequela. An example of a sequela is a scar resulting from a burn. In some scenarios, you may need to record multiple codes for a single condition. Remember that ICD also includes several combination codes, which are single codes used to classify two or more conditions that often occur together.
With injury codes, you often will submit external cause codes that further describe the scenario that resulted in the injury. You will find these codes in Chapter External cause codes. To code for this particular set of circumstances, you will need an activity code, a place of occurrence code, and an external cause status code. As shown above, the appropriate activity code for running on a treadmill is Y A1; the place of occurrence code for a gym is Y You could search all properties or a selected subset only First, you need to provide keywords in the Search Text field then check the properties that you'd like to include in the search.
The system will search for the keywords in the properties that you've checked and rank the results similar to a search engine The results will be displayed in the Search Results pane. Examples: 1. Clicking on any result will take you to that category You may close the advanced search window by clicking the X at the top left corner of the window.
The search results pane can be resized by dragging the horizontal line above it. International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10th Revision You may browse the classification by using the hierarchy on the left or by using the search functionality More information on how to use the online browser is available in the Help.
The two parts of the ICDCM index are the index to diseases and injury and index to external causes of injury. The table of drugs and chemicals and the neoplasm table are housed in the index to diseases and injury.
The table above provides a comparison of the two classification systems. The difference in code structure is shown in the figure above. ICDCM has numerous new features allowing for a greater level of specificity and clinical detail. These include:. ICDCM also includes added standard definitions for two types of excludes notes. Excludes1 indicates not coded here. The code being excluded is never used with the code.
The two conditions cannot occur together. Excludes2 indicates not included here. The excluded condition is not part of the condition represented by the code. It is acceptable to use both codes together if the patient has both conditions. ICD will replace ICD-9 In a little over a year, you will no longer report the diagnosis codes you know as ICD 9, which are code sets consisting of three to five characters with a decimal point e.
The change is necessary The United States is the last country in the world with modern healthcare to adopt ICD 10 codes. Is 30 years old, has outdated terms and is inconsistent with current medical practice. Limits the number of new codes that can be created, and many ICD 9 categories are full.
The start date is Oct. You need to start preparing The idea of readying yourself for this change can seem more than overwhelming. Here are some pointers: Develop an implementation strategy.
