The following non-standard ICD10 Diagnoses we customized/added have been added to encode specific diagnostic details that ICD10 doesn't account for. Pages would generally be added to this page using Template:ICD10 nonstandard code.

ICD10 CA specific Codes

  • Note that for ICD10 (unlike ICD9) different countries do some customization. In general here we're using the ICD-10-CA (Canadian) version but in some cases we have borrowed codes that are from the US customization.
ICD10descriptionreason for using non-standard code
C7A.0Malignant carcinoid tumorthere is no Canadian code for carcinoid tumor and so we used this US code; this is also the reason why this code has a letter in it.
J45.91Status asthmaticusStatus Asthmaticus is coded as J46 in the International version of ICD10 but we chose to code it as this code.
U82.1Resistance to antimicrobials, methicillin (anti-staph penicillins)Antimicrobial resistance is not coded in standard ICD10.
U82.20Resistance to carbapenem antibioticsAntimicrobial resistance is not coded in standard ICD10.
U82.3Resistance to antimicrobials, extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL)Antimicrobial resistance is not coded in standard ICD10.
U82.8Resistance to antimicrobials, antibiotic, resistance to other beta lactamsAntimicrobial resistance is not coded in standard ICD10.
U83.9Resistance to antimicrobials, miscellaneous antibacterial antibioticsAntimicrobial resistance is not coded in standard ICD10.
U84.0Resistance to antimicrobials, antiparasitic drugAntimicrobial resistance is not coded in standard ICD10.
U84.1Resistance to antimicrobials, antifungal drugAntimicrobial resistance is not coded in standard ICD10.
U84.2Resistance to antimicrobials, antiviral agentAntimicrobial resistance is not coded in standard ICD10.
U84.3Resistance to antimicrobials, classic anti-mycobacterial agentAntimicrobial resistance is not coded in standard ICD10.
U84.9Resistance to antimicrobials, drug NOSAntimicrobial resistance is not coded in standard ICD10.
U85.1AsystoleAsystole is not coded in standard ICD10.
U85.2Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA)Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA) is not coded in standard ICD10.
Z95.811Heart assist device, has oneWe needed to be able to collect LVADs and standard ICD10 doesn't have a code for this.

ICD10 CM specific Codes

These are codes that follow the American ICD10 CM listing and are different from the WHO listing.

ICD10descriptionreason for using non-standard code
J84.89Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP, cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP))There is no specific code for BOOP in the CA version.

Codes our program added

  • U00-U49 - Provisional codes for temporary assignment by World Health Organization of new diseases of uncertain etiology
  • U50-U99 - Provisional codes for research and temporary assignment in Canada

List of our Custom Codes

ICD10descriptionreason for using non-standard code
0No Dx EnteredThis is the default code that shows up in an ICD10 diagnosis when a new record is entered. The entry should always be replaced with an actual diagnosis by the time a record is finalized. Cross check Query check_ICD10_unfilled will give an error for the record if this entry is present.
00Not an Infection (ICD10 pathogen alternative)This is a possible entry as an ICD10 pathogen. It isn't an actual ICD10 code, but it is used in our database to prevent someone from forgetting to combine a pathogen with a diagnoses requiring pathogens.
000No Comorbidities (ICD10 code)This code is entered as a Comorbid Diagnosis for patients who have no comorbidities so that we can cross-check that the entry was not simply forgotten.
U04SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome)This is a special purpose code currently assigned by the WHO for SARS.
U14.68Diabetes mellitus acute complication: Non-ketotic hyperosmolar stateIn ICD10 proper, this code would be grouped together with Diabetes mellitus chronic complication NOS which is less specific than we want, or with Diabetic coma which would miss cases that are not severe enough to cause coma, so we added this code.
U22.11Stenotrophomonas speciesWe needed to some track pathogens that do not have a specific ICD10 code.
U22.12Citrobacter speciesWe needed to some track pathogens that do not have a specific ICD10 code.
U22.13Enterobacter speciesWe needed to some track pathogens that do not have a specific ICD10 code.
U22.14Acinetobacter speciesWe needed to some track pathogens that do not have a specific ICD10 code.
U22.9Infectious organism, unknownWe needed to track some pathogens that do not have a specific ICD10 code.

Effect on other systems that use ranges of codes in definitions

APACHE Acute Dxs in ICD10 codes, APACHE Comorbidities in ICD10 codes, Charlson Comorbidities in ICD10 codes and ICD10 blocks rely on ranges of codes. Some of the diagnoses listed above might be coded instead of other diagnoses that would have been in the relevant ranges, and therefore prevent inclusion in one of these schemes.

The instructions for Adding a new ICD10 code include directions to consider these implications.
