ICD 10-CM Codes for Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 and 2

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align:left;" trbidi="on">View ICD 9 to ICD 10-cmDiabetes Mellitus codes conversion for Type 1, Type 2, Genetic Diabetes, Diabetic Neuropathy, Diabetic Nephropathy, Diabetic Retinopathy, Gestational Diabetes, Diabetes with Hyperglycemia and other related Diabetic Diagnoses. <br /> <br /> ICD-10 codes are expected to take effect as of the 1st of October 2014 with the recent revelation indicating a significant change in the codes that will be used to code Diabetes mellitus in comparison to the current codes in ICD-9. The resent revision shows an improvement in the coding of the disease. <br /> <div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://www.medicalbillingcodings.org/2013/10/diabetesmellitustype12-icd10cm-codes2014.html"><img alt="ICD 10-CM Codes for Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 and 2" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8LJvGiQ4l-jPBC0swFdoNhTwJBGf4lqOzIOgz6AaOeGGTzSvKRqUdbEQDuXMPuTKesp4eGqGxqjtag7Dv2BXEFNSCe468I09nUk6IRVva5n78SGJkwmtm3s8UnBZkes2RklnuEM9VC8aM/s1600/icd10codes.png"></a></div>Diabetes mellitus is a disease in which a person is characterized by high blood pressure either because of the pancreas not producing enough insulin or body cells not responding to insulin that is produced. ICD-10-CM codes will be used to compliment the current medical science ensuring feasible separation between type 1 and type 2 diabetes.<br /> <br /> <h2>Diabetes Mellitus ICD 9 vs ICD 10 vs 10-cm Coding</h2>The major difference in the coding of diabetes mellitus as compared to the current ICD-9 system will first be experienced in the classification of the disease. The current system only classifies the condition as either controlled or uncontrolled. ICD-10 will classify Diabetes mellitus as either inadequately controlled, out of control or poorly controlled based on the type of hyperglycemia. ICD-10-CM is a combination of codes that will be used to specify the type of diabetes mellitus, body system affected and the complications that the body is experiencing.<br /> <br /> <h3>ICD 10-CM Codes for Diabetes Mellitus</h3>For Medial Billing and Coding purpose, Diabetes mellitus will be covered by 5 major ICD codes namely:<br /> <ul><li>E08 Diabetes Mellitus due to Underlying Condition</li> <li>E09 Drug or Chemical Induced Diabetes Mellitus</li> <li>E10 Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus</li> <li>E11 Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus</li> <li>E13 Other Specified Diabetes Mellitus</li> </ul><b>Diabetes Mellitus ICD9 and ICD10 Coding Difference</b><br /> ICD-9-CM codes for diabetes mellitus have the deficiency of only identifying the complication/manifestation of the condition. This is to change as ICD-10-CM will identify the type of diabetes as well as the complication/manifestation. When differentiating between the two types of diabetes ICD-9-CM uses Roman numerals while ICD-10-CM uses Arabic numbers.<br /> <br /> <b>ICD 10-cm Codes for Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 with Hyperglycemia</b><br /> ICD-10-CM code E11.40 will be used to specify diabetes mellitus type 2 with diabetic neuropathy while E11.65 ICD-10-CM code on its part will be used to specify diabetes type 2 with hyperglycemia. <br /> <br /> <b>ICD 10-cm Codes for Diabetes Neuropathy </b><br /> Diabetes neuropathy is a condition that is thought to arise from diabetic microvascular injury involving small blood vessels that transport blood to the supply nerves. <br /> <br /> <b>ICD 10-cm Code for Genetic Diabetes</b><br /> E13 is an ICD-10-CM code that will be used to specify diabetes mellitus caused by genetic defects of beta-cell-function or due to genetic defects in the insulin action. The same code will also be used for Postprocedurial diabetes mellitus and secondary diabetes mellitus NEC.<br /> <br /> <b>ICD 10-cm Diabetic Retinopathy</b><br /> If a female patient experiences severe nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy with macular edema then ICD code that will be used in this case will be E10.341. <br /> <br /> <h3>ICD 10-cm Coding for Diabetic Mellitus Type 1 and 2</h3>There will be no need for addition of another code in this case as there is a combination code for the type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes mellitus with foot ulcer will be specified by the ICD-10 code E11.621. E10.69 is an ICD-10 code that will be used to specify type 1 diabetes mellitus with specified complication. EO8.69 will be used to specify diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition with other specified conditions. <br /> <br /> You can also check other artciles by MBC, for a detailed account on <a href="http://www.medicalbillingcodings.org/2013/09/icd-10-codes-for-type-1-diabetes.html">Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 ICD 10 Codes</a> an <a href="http://www.medicalbillingcodings.org/2013/09/icd-10-codes-for-type-2-diabetes.html">Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 ICD 10 codes</a>.<br /> <br /> Other useful codes to note in the case for Diabetes mellitus include E11.52 for Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic peripheral angiopathy and gangrene, E11.59 for Type 2 diabetes mellitus with other circulatory complications, E11.63 for type 2 diabetes mellitus with oral complications and E11.620 for type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic dermatitis.<br /> <br /> ICD-10-CM officially replaces ICD-9-CM on October 1 2014, therefore, Medical Billers or Medical coders can use 2014 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes for only training or planning purposes until then.<br /> </div>

ICD 10 CM Codes for Hypertension (HTN) All Types

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align:left;" trbidi="on">View ICD 9cm to ICD 10 Hypertension (HTN) codes conversion for Essential, Pulmonary, Accelerated, Portal, Malignant, Renovascular, ocular and Unspecified hypertension diseases. <br /> <br /> The center for disease Control and prevention puts the number of Americans who suffer from hypertension at 67 million translating to 31% of all adults. It is estimated that more women than men suffer from Hypertensive condition with a high prevalence in people above the ages of 65. <br /> <br /> One is considered to suffer from hypertension if his systolic pressure stands at more than 140mmHG while the diastolic pressure clocks a high of 90mmHg and more. Hypertension causes the heart to work harder to pump blood to the entire body which most of the time result in left sided heart failure. <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://www.medicalbillingcodings.org/2013/10/icd-10-cm-codes-for-hypertension-htn.html"><img alt="ICD 10 CM Codes for Hypertension (HTN) Essential, Pulmonary, Accelerated, Portal, Malignant, Renovascular, ocular and Unspecified" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8LJvGiQ4l-jPBC0swFdoNhTwJBGf4lqOzIOgz6AaOeGGTzSvKRqUdbEQDuXMPuTKesp4eGqGxqjtag7Dv2BXEFNSCe468I09nUk6IRVva5n78SGJkwmtm3s8UnBZkes2RklnuEM9VC8aM/s1600/icd10codes.png"></a></div><br /> There are two main types of hypertension, primary hypertension which has been known to grow gradually with time. The other one is known as secondary hypertension. Both types of hypertension are known to considerably hurt the arteries acting as a major cause for strokes, heart attacks, kidney failure and blindness.<br /> <br /> <h2>Hypertension ICD 10 CM Codes</h2>Changes are set to rock the medical coding industry with ICD-9-CM codes set to be replaced by the newly drafted ICD-10-cm codes as of October 1 2014. Here we are going to present you with an overview on crosswalk of Hypertension ICD 9 to ICD 10 codes:<br /> <ul><li>ICD <b>I110</b> Essential Hypertension/ Primary Hypertension</li> <li>ICD <b>I11</b> Hypertensive Heart Disease</li> <li>ICD <b>I12</b> Hypertensive Chronic Kidney Disease</li> <li>ICD <b>I13</b> Hypertensive Heart and Chronic Kidney Disease</li> <li>ICD <b>I115</b> Secondary Hypertension</li> </ul>ICD Code 110 is a billable ICD-10-CM code that will be used to specify a diagnosis in relation to essential (primary) hypertension. ICD-10 codes 010, 011 and 013-016 in this case will be used to specify any hypertension complication affecting childbirth pregnancy and puerperium. Essential hypertension affecting vessels supplying the brain with blood will be represented by ICD-10 codes 160-169. Essential hypertension affecting vessels supplying the eye with blood on the other hand will be represented by the ICD-10 codes H35.0<br /> <br /> Hypertensive heart diseases with heart failure will be represented by the ICD-10 code I11.0; this will also be applicable for hypertensive heart failure. You can use additional code 150 to identify heart failure. ICD-10-CM I11.0 forms part of related Groups (MS-DRG v30.0)<br /> <ul><li>222 Cardiac defib implant with cardiac cath with ami/hf/shock with mcc</li> <li>223 Cardiac defib implant with cardiac cath with ami/hf/shock without mcc</li> <li>224 Cardiac defib implant with cardiac cath without ami/hf/shock with mcc</li> <li>225 Cardiac defib implant with cardiac cath without ami/hf/shock without mcc</li> <li>226 Cardiac defibrillator implant without cardiac cath with mcc</li> <li>227 Cardiac defibrillator implant without cardiac cath without mcc</li> <li>292 Heart failure & shock with cc</li> <li>293 Heart failure & shock without cc/mcc</li> <li>793 Full term neonate with major problems</li> <li>291 Heart failure & shock with mcc</li> </ul>Hypertension with benign intracranial has been accorded the ICD-10 code G93.2. Heart disease without heart failure (Hypertensive heart disease NOS) on its part will rely on ICD-10 code I11.9 while hypertensive heart disease with heart failure will relying on ICD-10 code I11.0. <br /> <br /> ICD Code I12.0 in ICD-10 codes will be used to indicate hypertensive chronic kidney disease with stage 5 chronic kidney disease or end stage for renal disease. I12.9 on its part will represent Hypertensive chronic kidney disease with stage 1 through to stage 4.<br /> <br /> With ICD-10-CM hypertension codes, a physician will be able to support diagnosis of hypertension with other data such as Auscultation (listening to sound with a stethoscope). Other codes that will be used for the different hypertension conditions include:<br /> <ul><li>ICD <b>I15.0</b> Renovascular Hypertension</li> <li>ICD <b>I15.1</b> Secondary Hypertension to Renal Disease</li> <li>ICD <b>I15.2</b> Secondary Hypertension to Endocrine Disorders</li> <li>ICD <b>I15.8</b> Other Secondary Hypertension</li> <li>ICD <b>I15.9</b> Secondary Hypertension Unspecified</li> <li>ICD <b>I15.9</b> Secondary Hypertension Unspecified</li> <li>ICD <b>I27.0</b> Primary Pulmonary Hypertension</li> <li>ICD <b>K76.6</b> Portal Hypertension</li> <li>ICD <b>H40.059</b> Ocular hypertension, unspecified eye</li> </ul>ICD-10-CM officially replaces ICD-9-CM on October 1 2014, therefore, Medical Billers or Medical coders can use 2014 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes for only training or planning purposes until then.<br /> </div>

Ophthalmology ICD 10 Codes: Low Vision and Eye Conditions

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align:left;" trbidi="on">Ophthalmology ICD 10 codes are designated for the various conditions related to the diagnosis of eye disease. <br /> <br /> Ophthalmology ICD 10 Codes are used to represent the various treatments and diagnosis given by physicians on their patients for the purposes of reimbursements from insurance companies. <br /> <br /> ICD 10 as compared to ICD 9 has added a bit of detail for describing the various diseases and disorders associated with the eye.<br /> <div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://www.medicalbillingcodings.org/2013/10/ophthalmology-icd10codes-loweyevision.html"><img alt="Ophthalmology ICD 10 Codes: Low Vision and Eye Conditions" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8LJvGiQ4l-jPBC0swFdoNhTwJBGf4lqOzIOgz6AaOeGGTzSvKRqUdbEQDuXMPuTKesp4eGqGxqjtag7Dv2BXEFNSCe468I09nUk6IRVva5n78SGJkwmtm3s8UnBZkes2RklnuEM9VC8aM/s1600/icd10codes.png"></a></div><h2>ICD 10 Ophthalmology Codes for Eye Conditions</h2>ICD 10 Ophthalmology codes will be used to review various eye conditions such as glaucoma cataracts, DES, ARMD, retinal conditions and other injuries:<br /> <br /> <h3>ICD 10 Eye Glaucoma Code (H40.9)</h3>Glaucoma is an eye condition that results in the optic nerve of the eye worsening with time. This condition is normally associated with increase in the buildup of pressure in the eye. H40.9 is the ICD code that has been designated for this eye condition. Some types will allow you to capture whether the glaucoma affects the right eye the left eye or both.<br /> <br /> <h3>ICD 10 Cataract Unspecified Code (H25.9)</h3>Cataracts is a common eye condition that is known to be a major cause of blindness in many people. Cataract is the clouding of the lens inside the eye which normally results in reduced vision. H25.9 is an ICD 10 code that specifies unspecified age related cataract. The major difference in coding for cataract eye condition lies on the fact that the word senile in ICD-9 has been replaced with age related in ICD-10 and non senile replaced with infantile or juvenile.<br /> <br /> Age related in cataracts is classified in the same sub types in ICD-10 such as cortical, posterior and Sub capsular. The only difference as in ICD-9 is that they have been expanded to allow one to define which eye has been affected. The most used code in ICD-9 IS the unspecified senile cataract code which is equally vague in ICD-10. This code in ICD-10 will not allow one to specify which eye has essentially been affected.<br /> <br /> <h3>Blindness and Low Vision ICD 10 Codes</h3>Low Vision is a term used to refer to a significant reduction of visual function that cannot be fully corrected by ordinary glasses, contact lenses or any sort of medical treatment. Level of vision codes will also be predominant in ICD10; the only change is that ICD-10 will feature 17 codes in this case as compared to 16 in ICD-9. <br /> <ul><li>H54.41 is an ICD-10 code that will be used to represent blindness to the right eye accompanied with normal vision to the left eye.</li> <li>H54.42 ICD-10 code on the other hand will be used to represent blindness to the left eye accompanied with normal vision to the right eye.</li> <li>H54.50 will be used to represent low vision on one eye accompanied with unspecified eye.</li> <li>H54.51 will designate low vision right eye accompanied with normal vision left eye.</li> <li>H54.52 be used in instances of low vision left eye with normal vision in the right eye.</li> </ul>ICD-10 codes will also be used to describe blindness on one eye and low vision on the other for example ICD-10 code H54.11 will be used to represent blindness on the right eye and low vision on the left eye. <br /> <br /> These are some of the major ICD10 Ophthalmology codes that will be in use as from October 1st, 2014 to improve clinical financial and administrative performance for different eye conditions.<br /> </div>
