In addition to this list there may be further diagnoses in the Category:Diagnoses not coded.

Try ctrl-f on this page to find the diagnosis you are looking for.

Surgeries or procedures not currently coded

• Epicardial wires placed via mini-thorocotomy for improving contractility in Dilated Cardiomyopathy patients. (use medical reason for procedure ie congestive heart failure or specific arrhythmia)

• some Stent insertions for which we don't have a specific code
• Angio for embolization (renal and GI)
• esophagectomy
• removal of PD catheter
• ileostomy
• ileal conduit
• Bentall procedure - use AVR Repair/Replace or TAA Repair)
• TAVI (trans catheter aortic valve implantation) (done in cath lab) - use AVR Repair/Replace
• TEVAR (trans endovascular aneurysm repair) - use regular aneurysm repair (AAA Repair or TAA Repair)
• Bilroth I &II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billroth_II) - Use bowel resection or other specific interventions done in surgical procedure).)
• Roux-en-Y procedure (a type of gastric bypass surgery)USE post-op GI other abd procedures other gi 794-90

Medical Diagnoses not currently coded

• • Some suggested options given for coding; some items have no suggestion as we are not currently interested in coding them at this time.
• Perforated Duodenal Ulcer ( use perforated bowel)
• Mallory Weiss Tear (use other UGIB)
• Shock Liver (use non-etoh liver disease -ischemic)
• New diagnosis of diabetes mellitus(not coded)
• Coronary artery stent thrombosis or coronary artery thrombosis (can use Art/Ven Embolus/Thrombus or thrombus-other(can't find that DX, what is it actually called? Ttenbergen 10:07, 2014 October 22 (CDT))) Note: coronary artery thrombosis is the usual mechanism for an MI, so if you are coding MI, this covers this. Stent thrombosis is not currently coded.
• Radiation enteritis (not currently coded)
• Scabies (use Soft Tissue Infection (includes Cellulitis), OTHER-Parasite)
• Hepatopulmonary syndrome - use each individual problem eg
  • Fulminant Hepatic Failure)
  • Non Fulminant Hepatic Failure
  • Congestive Heart Failure
  • ARDS
• Depression, bipolar and other psychiatric diagnosis (except schizophrenia & psychosis) - do not code
• Distributive shock 2nd to surgery, drugs, inflammation, etc. (use hypotension NYD)
  • Template:Discussion if you mean Hypotension NYD (not due to shock or post op) then the name of the article seems inconsistent with this instruction]]. We were told to use this code even though it makes no sense. It would be nice to have a distributive shock code so we would not have this contradictory coding going on. --LKolesar 10:39, 2014 December 12 (CST)
• Right ventricular dysfunction (can use Pulmonary Hypertension if this is also true; or use Congestive Heart Failure - other)
• Type 2 angina or ACS (from oxygen supply/demand issues) eg. anemia, bleeding, stress, etc.) - Could use unstable angina or MI along with the other issue ie.bleeding)
• Ascites (not currently coded)
• Cardiorenal syndrome (code each issue separately ie. ARF and Cardiogenic Shock)
• Mentally challenged (other than Downs Syndrome)(not currently coded)
• sternal dehisence (not currently coded)
• Coagulopathy for reasons other than liver failure or transfusion. (use other haematologic problems)
• Hematuria (not coded)

• Mallory weiss tear (use other Upper GI Bleed)
• polypharmacy
• Sexual assault (could be put under trauma)
