Additional Info

This code includes things like pulmonary nodule (1 or multiple), in which we don't (yet) know what it is. If it was known, for example to be a malignancy, it wouldn't be coded here, but as a malignancy.

Abnormal test

This code identifies an abnormal test result, not a disorder.
- The preference is to code the cause of the abnormal test, if known.
- also coding this abnormal test, along with the cause is optional however, it is not necessary.
- When the DX is not known, code likely related other tests and signs and symptoms as Combined ICD10 codes; some likely ones might be listed in #Candidate Combined ICD10 codes.

Guideline about Coding CCI vs ICD10 imaging codes

There are a set of "imaging codes" in ICD10, but these are not to code that an imaging test was performed, but to code that a result was abnormal --- and like all the ICD10 codes for abnormal symptoms or signs or test results, they are mainly to be used when the actual diagnosis CAUSING the abnormal findings is not known.

ICD10 Imaging diagnoses and other diagnoses that require imaging should be coded together with corresponding Imaging Pxs, where we have a code for them. Coding both is not redundant because the ICD10 will only be coded for abnormal results, and we don't have CCI coding options for every kind of imaging. Coding both as appropriate will cover all the ways we are interested in this data.
