ICD-10 Code for Depression and Anxiety (Moderate, Severe, Bipolar)

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align:left;" trbidi="on">ICD-10 codes for Major depression, Moderate depression, Postnatal depression and Postnatal depression from October 2015 will be specify used for medical billing and coding of depressive disorder. <br />
<br />
Depression also known as dysthymic disorder is a common condition that affects the brain attributed to a variety of genetic, environmental, psychological and biochemical factors. The condition affects over 20 million people in the US and manifests itself in early ages of up to 15 years old. <br />
<br />
Depression causes reduction in productivity in people increased absenteeism and can cause other chronic illnesses such as arthritis asthma cancer diabetes and obesity when not detected early enough and necessary medical attention taken.<br />

A patient enduring depression suffers from lower mood levels, reduction in energy levels, a decrease in activities and most of the time accompanied with memory loss. Sleep patterns are usually disturbed by depression accompanied with reduced appetite levels and feeling of self- unworthy. ICD-10 has revised its classification of the different conditions attributed to depression, under ICD-10 depression will be classified as: <br />
<ul><li>Agitated Depression</li>
<li>Major Depression w/o Psychotic Symptoms</li>
<li>Vital Depression</li>
</ul><br />
<h2>ICD-10 Code for Depression and Anxiety (Moderate, Severe, Bipolar)</h2>ICD-10 unlike ICD-9 will classify depression in terms of it being mild, moderate, and severe and with or without psychotic features. <br />
<br />
A clear example is the ICD-10 code F32.2 that will be used to specify any major depressive disorder that is a single episode without any psychotic features. F33.0 on its part will be used to specify a major depressive disorder being recurrent and mild with F33.41 being used to designate major depressive disorder that is recurrent with partial remission. <br />
<br />
<h3>ICD-10 Codes for Bipolar Disorder</h3>Bipolar disorder is one of the major mental illnesses in which people experience dramatic mood swings, One can go from being highly energetic high and irritable to sad and hopeless in blink of an eye. ICD-10 code F31.1 in this case will be used to specify a bipolar disorder that is mild without any psychotic features. F31.64 on the other hand will specify any bipolar disorder that is severe accompanied with psychotic features.<br />
<br />
<h3>ICD-10 Codes for Bipolar disorder II with Mood swings</h3>Bipolar 2 is similar to bipolar 1 characterized with mood swings cycling between high and low over time, the only difference in this case is that the mood swings never reach full on mania. F31.8 ICD-10 code will thus be used to specify the Bipolar II disorder. Depression associated with psychotic symptoms will be specified by F32.3 while F06.32 will be used to specify any mood disorder caused by known psychological conditions with major depressive like episodes.<br />
<br />
<h3>ICD-10 Codes for Cyclothymia and Dysthymic Disorder</h3>Cyclothymia is a term used to specify any type of depression characterized by persistent instability of mood swings accompanied with mild elation.  The condition is common in relatives with bipolar parents. Dysthymia on its part is a chronic depression of moods that lasts for years. This condition is not severe with its episodes not being prolonged to justify diagnosis of either mild moderate or severe. ICD-10 will rely on F34 to specify Cyclothymic disorder and F34.1 for Dysthymic disorder.<br />
<br />
Generally speaking, ICD-10 codes for depressive disorders are grouped under several categories:<br />
<br />
<h3>F32 - Major depressive disorder, single episode </h3>The intent of this category, from what I understand, is to include single episodes of major depression. There are several ICD-10 codes that can be used here, depending on severity, the presence of any associated symptoms, and whether the episode of depression is in partial of full remission (note that F32 is NOT a billable code):<br />
<ul><li>F32.0 - Major depressive disorder, single episode, <i>mild</i></li>
<li>F32.1 - Major depressive disorder, single episode, <i>moderate</i></li>
<li>F32.2 - Major depressive disorder, single episode, <i>severe without psychotic features</i></li>
<li>F32.3 - Major depressive disorder, single episode, <i>severe with psychotic features</i></li>
<li>F32.4 - Major depressive disorder, single episode, <i>in partial remission</i></li>
<li>F32.5 - Major depressive disorder, single episode, <i>in full remission</i></li>
<li>F32.8 - Other depressive episodes</li>
<li>F32.9 - Major depressive disorder, single episode, unspecified</li>
</ul><h3>ICD-10 Code F33 Major Depressive Disorder, Recurrent</h3>F33 codes are similar to F32, except that they refer to recurrent episodes of major depression:<br />
<ul><li>F33.0 - Major depressive disorder, recurrent, <i>mild</i></li>
<li>F33.1 - Major depressive disorder, recurrent, <i>moderate</i></li>
<li>F33.2 - Major depressive disorder, recurrent <i>severe without psychotic features</i></li>
<li>F33.3 - Major depressive disorder, recurrent, <i>severe with psychotic symptoms</i></li>
<li>F33.4 - Major depressive disorder, recurrent, in remission</li>
<li>F33.40 - Major depressive disorder, recurrent, <i>in remission, unspecified </i></li>
<li>F33.41 - Major depressive disorder, recurrent, <i>in partial remission</i></li>
<li>F33.42 - Major depressive disorder, recurrent, <i>in full remission</i></li>
<li>F33.8 - Other recurrent depressive disorders</li>
<li>F33.9 - Major depressive disorder, recurrent, unspecified</li>
</ul>F32 and F33 codes for depression correspond to 296.xx codes under the ICD-9-CM classification. The exception is ICD-9 code 298.0 - Depressive type psychosis), which in ICD-10 correspondds to F32.3 - Major depressive disorder, single episode, severe with psychotic features, and F33.3 - Major depressive disorder, recurrent, severe with psychotic symptoms.<br />
<br />
ICD-9 code 311 (Depressive disorder, not elsewhere classified) translates to ICD-10 code F32.9 (Major depressive disorder, single episode, unspecified).<br />
<br />
<h3>Other ICD-10 Codes For Depression</h3><ul><li>F03.90 (Unspecified dementia without behavioral disturbance)<br />
  <ul>    <li>290.13 - Presenile dementia with depressive features</li>
    <li>290.21 - Senile dementia with depressive features</li>
  </ul></li>
<li>F34.1 (Dysthymic disorder) corresponds to ICD-9 code 301.12 (Chronic depressive personality disorder)</li>
<li>F43.21(Adjustment disorder with depressed mood) is tranlated from 309.1 (Prolonged depressive reaction)</li>
<li>293.83 (Mood disorder in conditions classified elsewhere) has been expanded to two ICD-10-CM codes:<br />
  <ul>    <li>F06.31 - Mood disorder due to known physiological condition with depressive features</li>
    <li>F06.32 - Mood disorder due to known physiological condition with major depressive-like episode</li>
   </ul></li>
<li>Finally, F25.1 (Schizoaffective disorder, depressive typ) translates 295.70 (Schizoaffective disorder, unspecified)</li>
</ul>Mental disorders come with serious consequences when not properly treated which may lead to increased blood pressure that can lead to a fatality. It is always good to seek medical attention as early as possible to stand a better chance of arresting the condition Coders will also be required to have a comprehensive understanding of the various disorders associated with Depression to extract proper information for billing and coding .<br />

ICD 10 Codes for Mental Health Disorders

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align:left;" trbidi="on">ICD-10 codes for mental health are codes that will be used to specify the different kinds of psychological patterns reflected in behaviors associated with distress or disability not considered part of the normal development. <br />
<br />
Mental disorders are normally associated with particular parts of the brain or the nervous system. As of October 1st medical practitioners will be required to use the revised ICD-10-CM codes as a replacement  of ICD-9 that are currently being used, the newly revised codes will also see an updated DSM-V.<br />
<br />
With the new ICD-10 mental coding system, there have been some revisions on the classification of mental conditions with more granularity and greater detail. ICD-10 codes for mental health will be specific and standardized for specific conditions. ICD-10 codes for mental health will incorporate more categories subcategories and codes. <br />
<br />
<h2>ICD 10 Codes for Mental Health Disorders</h2>Below are the main categories for mental health specification in ICD10:<br />
<ul><li>ICD 10 Codes F01-F09 is the category that will be used to specify Mental Disorders caused by any known physiological condition, in between the code will have subcategories specifying specific conditions attributed to physiological factors.</li>
<li>F10-F19 ICD codes will be used to specify Mental and Behavioral Disorders caused by any psychoactive substance abuse especially the misuse of drugs.</li>
<li>Unspecified mental disorder will on the other hand be specified by F99-F99.</li>
<li>F20-F29 will be used to specify Schizophrenia Schizotypal, Delusional and any other form of Non mood disorders.</li>
<li>ICD-10 codes between F30 and F39 will be used to specify any form of mood affective disorder.</li>
<li>F40-F49 ICD-10 codes will be used to specify mental disorders involving anxiety, dissociative stress related Somatoform and other forms of Nonpsychotic Mental disorders.</li>
<li>Behavioral syndrome associated with Physiological Disturbance and physical factors will be specified in ICD-10 by F50-F59.</li>
</ul><br />
<div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://www.medicalbillingcodings.org/2013/11/icd10codes-mentalhealthdisorders2014.html"><img alt="ICD 10 Codes for Mental Health 2014" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8LJvGiQ4l-jPBC0swFdoNhTwJBGf4lqOzIOgz6AaOeGGTzSvKRqUdbEQDuXMPuTKesp4eGqGxqjtag7Dv2BXEFNSCe468I09nUk6IRVva5n78SGJkwmtm3s8UnBZkes2RklnuEM9VC8aM/s1600/icd10codes.png"></a></div><br />
<h3>ICD 10 Codes for Behavioral Health Diseases</h3>The categories to be used for mental health and behavioral disorders in ICD-10 are a bit different compared to the ones currently being used in ICD -9. <br />
<br />
A good casing example is the major depressive disorder that is coded by 296.2 in both DSM-VS in ICD-9; the same condition will be coded by F32 in ICD-10. <br />
<br />
Mental disorders affected by adult personality and behavior will be specified by ICD-10 codes F60-F69 while conditions associated with Pervasive and specific development disorders will be specified by F80-F89.<br />
<br />
There are patients that are normally faced by Behavioral and emotion disorders that surely start to creep in, in childhood or adolescence, for this category ICD-10 will rely on the codes F90-F98 for specific categorization.<br />
<br />
<h3>ICD10 and DSM-V Codes for Mental Health Disorders</h3>Medical practitioners will be forced to use both ICD-10 codes with DSM-V codes while carrying out any coding of any mental disorder. The reason why mental health professionals can use the DSM-IV for diagnosis is because the DSM derives its code numbers from the ICD. <br />
<br />
Currently, the DSM-IV code numbers reflect the ICD-9-CM codes. However, the DSM-5 codes will have to reflect those from the ICD-10-CM because use of the ICD-10-CM became mandatory for all health professionals in October 2014.<br />
<br />
For proper billing and coding one will need to familiarize him or herself with both DSM and ICD-10 as well as CPT, This is because the structure  for billing and coding in ICD-10 is extremely different as to the one being used in ICD-9. ICD-10 comes with a new arrangement of categories and alpha numeric codes that require a level of understanding for proper coding.<br />

ICD-10 Codes for Pregnancy, Induced Hypertension, new Born and Abortion

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align:left;" trbidi="on">View ICD-10CM Pregnancy Codes for pregnancy induced hypertension, ectopic pregnancy, normal pregnancy, pregnancy with twins and other types of pregnancies. <br />
<br />
ICD-10 codes are the latest version of codes for medical billing and coding that are set to take over from ICD-9 as of the 1st of October 2014. There has been an expansion in the codes with ICD-10 set to boost of 68,000 codes as compared to 13000 in ICD-9. <br />
<br />
ICD-10 codes for pregnancy have also seen a major revision with addition of new codes to make billing and coding more specific. The major difference  that is evident between ICD-10 codes for pregnancy In ICD-9 and ICD-10 is that, ICD-9 obstetrics are mainly classified depending on whether a patient delivered during  the encounter While ICD-10 are classified depending on the trimester of the pregnancy. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://www.medicalbillingcodings.org/2013/11/icd-10-pregnancy-codes-2014.html"><img alt="ICD-10 Codes for Pregnancy, Induced Hypertension, new Born and Abortion" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8LJvGiQ4l-jPBC0swFdoNhTwJBGf4lqOzIOgz6AaOeGGTzSvKRqUdbEQDuXMPuTKesp4eGqGxqjtag7Dv2BXEFNSCe468I09nUk6IRVva5n78SGJkwmtm3s8UnBZkes2RklnuEM9VC8aM/s1600/icd10codes.png"></a></div><br />
There was need to revise the ICD codes to reflect the advances in medicine and medical technology to capture more health conditions affecting different patients. ICD-10 is especially beneficial for obstetrics and gynecology coding as it provides more clarity. Some of the obstetrical coding that will be evident in ICD-10 includes the elimination of episodes of care for obstetric codes and changes in time frames:<br />
<ul><li>Abortion vs. Fetal death (20 weeks)</li>
<li>Early vs. Late pregnancy (20 weeks)</li>
</ul><br />
<h2>ICD-10 Codes for Pregnancy, Induced Hypertension, new Born and Abortion</h2>ICD-10 features codes that denote specific fetus and multiple gestation pregnancies allowing pregnancy trimester to be designated. O26.851 icd-10 code will replace 649.53 in ICD-9 in specifying any form of complication about a pregnancy in the first trimester. 026.852 will specify complications in the second trimester while 026.853 will specify complications in the third trimester. 026.859 is a unique ICD-10 code on its own as it will be mandated to specify any form of complicated pregnancy in unspecified trimester. <br />
<br />
<h3>ICD-10 Codes for Pregnancy Induced Hypertension</h3>Different pregnancies come with different conditions that will need to be reported adequately, it is for this reason that any form of Tubal pregnancy will be specified by ICD-10 code 000.1. If a new born is suspected of being affected by mal-presentation before labor, then the condition will be specified by ICD-10 code P01.7. Any pregnancy induced by hypertension without a significant proteinuria in the second trimester will be specified by the code 013.2 while any form of Endometriosis of the ovary will be specified by ICD-10 code N80.1<br />
<br />
<h3>ICD-10 Codes for Pregnancy and new Born</h3>Z38.1 is an ICD-10 code that has been mandated with the responsibility of reporting any single live born infant that is born outside the hospital. There are situations where a mother might continue to use alcohol during the periods leading to child birth, during this period a baby may be affected by alcohol. In this situation ICD-1O code P04.3 will be used to specify the condition. If a new born is born with low weight, P07.16 will be used in this case while P96.1 will be used for any form of Neonatal withdrawal symptoms from maternal use of drugs and addiction.<br />
<br />
<h3>ICD-10 Codes for Abortion and High Risk Pregnancy</h3>Any pregnancy with a form of abortive outcome will be specified by codes 000-008 depending on the cause of the abortion while 009 will be used to specify any high risk pregnancy. Other ICD 10 codes for pregnancy worth noting include:<br />
<ul><li>O10–O16, Edema, proteinuria, and hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium.</li>
<li>O20–O29, Other maternal disorders predominantly related to pregnancy.</li>
<li>O30–O48, Maternal care related to the fetus and amniotic cavity and possible delivery problems.</li>
<li>O60–O77, Complications of labor and delivery.</li>
<li>O80, O82, Encounter for delivery.</li>
<li>O85–O92, Complications predominantly related to the puerperium.</li>
<li>O94–O9A, Other obstetric conditions, not elsewhere classified.</li>
</ul>ICD-10-CM officially replaced the ICD-9-CM on October 1 2015, therefore, Medical Billers or Medical coders should use 2015 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes now.<br />
