1 This says to include
But we had a code for that, and when we retired it we stated to use Malignancy (clonal disorder) of blood or lymphoid tissue, NOS instead. Which is it? |
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
- Interstitial lung disease, drug-induced (acute or chronic)
- Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (extrinsic allergic alveoliltis), NOS
- Pulmonary emphysema or bullous disease without COPD
- Fibrothorax
- Idiopathic interstitial pulmonary fibrosis
- Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP, cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP))
Candidate Combined ICD10 codes
Infections
Infections in ICD10 have combined coding requirements for some of their pathogens. Any that have antibiotic resistances would store those as Combined ICD10 codes as well. If the infection is acquired in the hospital, see Nosocomial infection, NOS. See Lab and culture reports for confirmation and details about tests. See Infections in ICD10 for more general info.
Potential Infection
This diagnosis is about a potential infection; this means it could be an infectious disease or not. This means we can not do any cross checks about it. Please remember to code the pathogen and any possible antibiotic resistance.
