Legacy Content
This page is about the pre-ICD10 diagnosis coding schema. See the ICD10 Diagnosis List, or the following for similar diagnoses in ICD10:Insulin or other antidiabetes drug, overdose/toxicityClick Expand to show legacy content.
Hypoglycemics (oral or insulin) - HYPOGLYCEMICS (oral or insulin) - 46100
Template:Discussion Do we need the base code of these? We may have existing entries for it, but should it be de-activated going forward?
- don't understand this question?
Hypoglycemics (oral or insulin) - Intentional - 46101
e.g. suicide attempt
Hypoglycemics (oral or insulin) - Accidental/toxicity - 46102
Don't use, use Insulin Shock instead.
- no this is not correct. Insulin shock can be used if patient goes into insulin shock however, in terms of too much MED, we also want to try and discern if a problem occurred because too much insulin/metformin was intentional, accidental OR iatrogenic
Template:Discussion So there would be no circumstances under which this code would be used any longer? If so we should inactivate, ie. make impossible to code in future.
- I use this code for metformin accidental toxicity GHall 11:43, 2015 July 17 (CDT)
- How about leaving it in with oral only in brackets as it does not apply to Insulin?--CMarks 09:49, 2015 July 22 (CDT)
- accidental mean just that, patient "accidentally" took to much oral med or insulin. It does happen.
- How about leaving it in with oral only in brackets as it does not apply to Insulin?--CMarks 09:49, 2015 July 22 (CDT)
Hypoglycemics (oral or insulin) - Iatrogenic - 46103
when patient is inadvertently given too much Insulin by a health care provider.
Template:Discuss@task Looks like we didn't clear this up as well as we thought at the last task meeting. May need to take it back there again.
