Additional Info

  • This code serves double duty
  • Use it as a comorbid diagnosis if appropriate
  • Use it to identify seizure(s) as an active issue in a person WITH a known seizure disorder, either as an admission or acquired diagnosis
  • Thus for a person with epilepsy who is admitted and current seizure is not a part of the admission reason, code this only as Comorbid Diagnosis
  • For someone with known epilepsy for whom an active seizure is part of the reason for admission, put this code BOTH as a Comorbid Diagnosis AND an Admit Diagnosis. For someone with known epilepsy who is admitted for something else, but who seizes after admission, put this code BOTH as a comorbid AND an acquired diagnosis.
  • This code includes myoclonic epilepsy.
