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 as applicable:
    • Perforation-Bowel Nontraumatic
    • Closure of Perforated Bowel
• Mallory Weiss Tear
  • use other UGIB Upper GI Bleed
• Shock Liver
  • use Nonalcoholic Liver Disease - Ischemic 40811
• Liver congestion related to R Ventricular failure
  • use Nonalcoholic Liver Disease - Ischemic 40811
• New diagnosis of diabetes mellitus(not coded)
• Coronary artery stent thrombosis or coronary artery thrombosis
  • use Art/Ven Embolus/Thrombus 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
• 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)
• pneumobilia--CMarks 10:16, 2015 January 27 (CST)
• Right ventricular dysfunction
  • can use Pulmonary Hypertension if this is also true; or use Congestive Heart Failure - other)
