Combined ICD10 codes: Difference between revisions

Line 30:

This solution also works for the rare entities which can only be coded with a combination of two codes. The example above of retroperitoneal hemorrhage is a good one if it's the #1 reason for admission. Here you'd code the '''[[Hemorrhage, NOS]]''' as #1, but ALSO code '''[[Hemorrhage, NOS]]''' combined with '''[[Retroperitoneal area, diagnostic imaging, abnormal]]'''

~~=== Malignancy with Metastasis ===~~

*Here, code BOTH the primary site and the location(s) of mets -- and these need to be combined because the codes for mets don't specify the primary site, only the site of the mets.

*There are codes for mets to the following places: {{~~ListICD10Category | categoryName = Metastasis~~}}

*If the site of the mets isn't in the list, use '''[[Site NOS, metastatic malignancy to it (also code primary site)]]'''

*If there are mets to multiple sites, then combine all together the primary malignancy code to the codes for the different sites of the mets.
