Observation for suspected infection NOS: Difference between revisions

Line 7:

== Additional Info ==

This code is [[Combined ICD10 codes|combined]] with a pathogen if a person was observed for a suspected infection but did NOT end up having an infection.

'''Excludes:'''

* [[Observation for SUSPECTED tuberculosis]]

* This code is used if a person was observed for a suspected infection (other than [[Observation for SUSPECTED tuberculosis]]) but did NOT end up having an infection.

* For example, it is used for suspected [[COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2)]]

=== Suspected infections being confirmed POSITIVE or NEGATIVE ===

Line 20:

Line 22:

* If a person with the combination of codes that represents observation for suspected COVID-19 then has their COVID come back as (+), then just change the [[Observation for suspected infection NOS]] to whatever is the COVID manifestation (e.g. pneumonia, etc).

* ALSO, do NOT use this combination of codes for each COVID swab sent, as this represents a diagnosis, not a procedure.

~~==== Legacy info ====~~

~~Until 2021-02-22 the instruction was to keep the Observation entry rather than change it to the actual manifestation, so older data would list this different from newer instructions.~~

== Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition ==

~~This dx code is tracked with special interest for COVID cases. For other COVID related dx codes, see:~~

~~{{ListICD10Category | categoryName = COVID }}~~
