Combined ICD10 codes: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:05, 12 February 2018

To code some diagnoses as part of ICD10 collection, several lines of entries in the Patient viewer tab ICD10 need to be grouped together.

To group diagnoses together, use the same Dx Priority for all of them.

Iatrogenic codes:

Coding instructions

Introduction

There are numerous situations in which multiple codes need to be listed in order to accurately reflect what's going on medically.
For some situations the multiple codes need to be linked together (we use the term "combined").
For other situations it's just a matter of ensuring that the multiple codes are all in the diagnosis list -- i.e. they don't need to be combined.
For some entities there is no single ICD10 code, and the only way to code the entity is to combine two codes.
- An example is that to identify Retroperitoneal hemorrhage one must link two codes Hemorrhage, NOS and Retroperitoneal area, diagnostic imaging, abnormal. So, alongside each of those is a message about this.
- Another example is coding Hospital-acquired pneumonia. To get this you combine Iatrogenic, complication of medical or surgical care NOS with the appropriate type of pneumonia code, e.g. Pneumonia, bacterial or Pneumonia, fungal/yeast

Clinical Situation Plus its Cause

Many ICD10 codes are for manifestations of disease, not a specific disorder per se.
In their Wiki articles it will say something like "also code cause if known" e.g: Hematemesis (upper GI bleed/hemorrhage), NOS
If the cause is an infection, the Wiki article will instruct to "also code infection source", e.g: Shock, septic
In general, when you have a manifestation and a cause, the two codes should be combined.

Primary Admit Diagnosis in Combined Codes

See Primary Admit Diagnosis

Dxs that can only be expressed as combinations

Some entities can only be coded with a combination of two codes.

Example: retroperitoneal hemorrhage; code Hemorrhage, NOS combined with Retroperitoneal area, diagnostic imaging, abnormal

Some specific cases

Template:Combined dx metastasis primary Template:Trauma w mechanism Template:ICD10 infection Template:Combined dx AB resistance Template:ICD10 Symptoms not needed when cause known

Other co-codes

In addition to the combined coding situations listed above, you can combine codes when it makes sense to you to do so. The general guideline should be that codes be combined (instead of just both listed in the diagnosis list) when they are strongly related to each other.
Use your judgement. Either listing them separately, or combined ensures that they're all there.

Transition notes

Yes, this different from how we used to use dx priorities where they had to be unique.

Data

The records are combined by same L_ICD10.Dx Priority.

-Double coding like that will be a bit of a nuisance, and it will also make counting dxs etc harder since sometimes codes with priority 1 will need to be excluded. If we added a column "primary" to the L_ICD10 table, and required a single check and no more for each patient, I think that would be easier for coding and easier for entering.
