List of Diagnoses we didn't code in old schema
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)
- Repair of Patent Ductus Arteriosus and foramen ovale.
- ERCP (use Any GI scope)
- 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
- lumbar punctures
- lumbar drains
Medical Diagnoses not currently coded
- sexual assault - probably need a sub-code under trauma
- 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
- Depression, bipolar and other psychiatric diagnosis (except schizophrenia & psychosis) - do not code
- Distributive shock 2nd to surgery, drugs, inflammation, etc. (use hypotension NYD)
- if you mean Hypotension NYD (not due to shock or post op) then the name of the article seems inconsistent with this instruction]] Template:Discussion 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)
- Pneumocystic Jiroveci (PJP) as a pathogen. This is seen in immunocompromised pts and is similiar to PCP. Not sure what organism to code here.
- sternal dehisence (not currently coded)
- Coagulopathy for reasons other than liver failure or transfusion. (use other haematologic problems)
- Hematuria (not coded)
- Fibromyalgia (use Other Collagen Vascular Diseases)
- Mallory weiss tear (use other Upper GI Bleed)
- polypharmacy
Pathogens
- Cryptosporidium - use OTHER-Parasite when applicable
