This diagnosis is a part of ICD10 collection.
We will not identify someone with the code unless they have confirmed COVID-19. - Allan Garland 2020-Mar-23
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
Only use this for confirmed cases of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) - not other Coronavirus
Can this code be called COVID-19 to eliminate confusion? --Jvelasco 08:44, 2020 March 20 (CDT)
This code is the code for a pathogen, not an infection. To use it you have to code an infection (e.g. Lower_respiratory_tract_infection,_acute_infectious ) as a combined code with this virus pathogen code, you can’t code it alone. If we want to keep it like that I can change the name to something like “SARS-CoV-2 (causes COVID19)”, but would want to keep the virus name in there. If we want to code it in without combined code because it would only be used in that circumstance (eg Botulism) then we can change it to an Infection with implied pathogen. This would only allow coding it on its own, and would no longer qualify it as a pathogen. Possible drawback is that we would not know if someone e.g. had a sepsis related to it, or just breathing issues, since it would now not necessarily be coded as a disease code. Third alternative is to make it into a “Double duty” code like Rabies. For that one specifically we then have Infectious contact/exposure, rabies, without disease (yet). This would allow coding this as a single code to express COVID, but also as a pathogen code to show that it was e.g. the cause of a sepsis. |
