Dxs that we have considered and decided not to code

We have considered and decided not to code the following:

  • Allergies in general (but do code any Anaphylactic reaction (anaphylaxis) or code if it occurs)
  • Muscle Spasm
  • Intravenous drug abuse (IVDA) - we have Illicit drug use, but there is no ICD10 code for specifically IVDA and we don't have a specific need to add a special code

lump dxs

We have some lump dxs (e.g. Mass, lump or swelling, skin or subcutaneous tissue, NOS, Breast, unspecified lump (nodule, mass), Mass, lump or swelling, intra-abdominal or pelvic). These are intended for tactile findings.

For lumps or masses that are detected in imaging rather than tactile the appropriate abnormal imaging code:

Imaging codes:

We don't code local invasion of a tumor that has not (yet) caused an actual complication. If there is a complication, code that.

"work-up for cancer" / i.e. old *06 subcodes for all tumors

See Template:ICD10 Guideline Cancer

Other dxs collectors think should be included

If we don't have a dx code and you think we should have it, put a discussion here (use the pink button in the button bar). We will review it and either add it, or explain which code it should be coded under and make sure a future search would find it, or add an explanation above that we decided not to code it and why.
