Icd-10, Part 4: How To Code For Diabetic Retinopathy
Written By: Elizabeth Cottle, CPC, OCS, Rajiv R. Rathod, MD, MBA, Sue Vicchrilli, COT, OCS, and E. Joy Woodke, COE, OCS Finding the ICD-10 codes for diabetic retinopathy can be tricky. They are not listed in Chapter 7, Diseases of the Eye and Adnexa (H00-H59), but are in the diabetes section (E08-E13) of Chapter 4, Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases. Retinal complications. To further confuse matters, the most common retinal complications are in Chapter 7, not Chapter 4. Examples include vitreous hemorrhage (H43.1-), traction detachment of retina (H33.4-), and rubeosis iridis (H21.1-). New options. ICD-10 features codes for diagnoses that don’t currently have codes. These include drug- or chemical-induced diabetes mellitus (E09.-); gestational diabetes (Q24.4-); neonatal diabetes mellitus (P70.2); and postpancreatectomy, postprocedural, or secondary diabetes mellitus (E13.-). Changes in Documentation Some terms that you’re using in charts—such as “NIDDM,” “controlled,” and “uncontrolled”—will be obsolete when ICD-10 starts on Oct. 1, 2015. Instead, diabetes documentation should address the following questions: Is it type 1 or type 2? Is there diabetic retinopathy? If so, is it proliferative or nonproliferative? If nonproliferative, is it mild, moderate, or severe? Is there macular edema? Preparedness tips. To help you work through that series of questions, the AAOE has developed a decision tree that you can laminate and keep for reference at the coder’s desk. Download it at www.aao.org/icd10. You also should update your intake form so that staff can capture the type of diabetes. Insulin use? Submit Z79.4 as supporting documentation indicating any insulin use. What’s the Underlying Condition? According to ICD-10 instructions, physicians Continue reading >>
Icd-10 Diagnosis Code H35.049
The retina is a layer of tissue in the back of your eye that senses light and sends images to your brain. In the center of this nerve tissue is the macula. It provides the sharp, central vision needed for reading, driving and seeing fine detail. Retinal disorders affect this vital tissue. They can affect your vision, and some can be serious enough to cause blindness. Examples are Macular degeneration - a disease that destroys your sharp, central vision Retinal detachment - a medical emergency, when the retina is pulled away from the back of the eye Retinoblastoma - cancer of the retina. It is most common in young children. Macular pucker - scar tissue on the macula Macular hole - a small break in the macula that usually happens to people over 60 Floaters - cobwebs or specks in your field of vision Central serous choroidopathy (Medical Encyclopedia) Electroretinography (Medical Encyclopedia) High blood pressure and eye disease (Medical Encyclopedia) Intravitreal injection (Medical Encyclopedia) Retinal artery occlusion (Medical Encyclopedia) Retinal vein occlusion (Medical Encyclopedia) Continue reading >>
Retinopathy And Survival In A Population Without Diabetes: The Beaver Dam Eye Study
Retinopathy is relatively common in nondiabetic populations, and its long-term prognostic implications are not certain. For this reason, the authors hypothesized that retinal alterations were associated with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in nondiabetic individuals participating in the Beaver Dam Eye Study in Wisconsin. Included in the analysis were 4,294 nondiabetic subjects aged 4384 years examined at baseline (19881990). Retinopathy was classified into four groups by using retinal photographs: 1) no retinopathy, 2) presence of retinal hemorrhages only, 3) presence of retinal microaneurysms only, and 4) presence of moderate or worse retinopathy. The authors analyzed survival during 14 years of follow-up and in 5-year intervals by using time-varying covariates. Baseline prevalence of retinopathy was 7.7%. Adjusting for age, sex, and significant confounders, they observed that moderate retinopathy at baseline was associated with all-cause (hazard ratio = 1.76, 95% confidence interval: 1.16, 2.69) and ischemic heart disease (hazard ratio = 3.17, 95% confidence interval: 1.73, 5.78) mortality after 14 years of follow-up. In the 5-year-interval analysis, the presence of hemorrhages only was significantly related to increased all-cause (hazard ratio = 1.49, 95% confidence interval: 1.05, 2.12) and ischemic heart disease (hazard ratio = 2.43, 95% confidence interval: 1.48, 4.01) mortality. Study results suggest that retinal changes have possible prognostic implications regarding survival of persons without diabetes. eye diseases , mortality , ophthalmology , retina , retinal hemorrhage Direct assessment of retinal signs during clinical examination and development of standardized methods of fundus photography grading permit the evaluation of retinal alterations as pr Continue reading >>

Hypertensive Retinopathy
Hypertensive retinopathy is damage to the retina and retinal circulation due to high blood pressure (i.e. hypertension). Signs and symptoms[edit] Most patients with hypertensive retinopathy have no symptoms. However, some may report decreased or blurred vision,[1] and headaches.[2] Signs[edit] Signs of damage to the retina caused by hypertension include: Arteriolar changes, such as generalized arteriolar narrowing, focal arteriolar narrowing, arteriovenous nicking, changes in the arteriolar wall (arteriosclerosis) and abnormalities at points where arterioles and venules cross. Manifestations of these changes include Copper wire arterioles where the central light reflex occupies most of the width of the arteriole and Silver wire arterioles where the central light reflex occupies all of the width of the arteriole, and "arterio-venular (AV) nicking" or "AV nipping", due to venous constriction and banking. advanced retinopathy lesions, such as microaneurysms, blot hemorrhages and/or flame hemorrhages, ischemic changes (e.g. "cotton wool spots"), hard exudates and in severe cases swelling of the optic disc (optic disc edema), a ring of exudates around the retina called a "macular star" and visual acuity loss, typically due to macular involvement. Mild signs of hypertensive retinopathy can be seen quite frequently in normal people (3–14% of adult individuals aged ≥40 years), even without hypertension.[3] Hypertensive retinopathy is commonly considered a diagnostic feature of a hypertensive emergency although it is not invariably present.[4] Keith Wagener Barker (KWB) Grades[edit] Grade 1 Vascular Attenuation Grade 2 As grade 1 + Irregularly located, tight constrictions - Known as "AV nicking" or "AV nipping" - Salus's sign Grade 3 As grade 2 + Retinal edema, cotton wool s Continue reading >>

With type 2 diabetes, the more common type, your body does not make or use insulin well. Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose get into your cells to give them energy. Without insulin, too much glucose stays in your blood. Over time, high blood glucose can lead to serious problems with your heart, eyes, kidneys, nerves, and gums and teeth. You have a higher risk of type 2 diabetes if you are older, obese, have a family history of diabetes, or do not exercise. Having prediabetes also increases your risk. Prediabetes means that your blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough to be called diabetes. The symptoms of type 2 diabetes appear slowly. Some people do not Continue reading >>
Coding For Diabetic Retinopathy
For The Record Vol. 24 No. 17 P. 26 Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of long-term diabetes resulting from changes in the blood vessels of the retina. The condition may start with no symptoms or only mild vision problems, but it may eventually lead to blindness. Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in working-age Americans. The longer a patient has diabetes, the greater the risk he or she will experience diabetic complications such as diabetic retinopathy. Preventive measures include maintaining well-controlled blood sugars and regularly scheduling eye exams. Poorly controlled blood sugars may affect the capillaries in the eye. If a patient is admitted with diabetic retinopathy or has retinopathy due to diabetes, the diabetic code (ICD-9-CM category 250) must be sequenced as the principal diagnosis followed by the code for the specific type of retinopathy as a secondary diagnosis. The physician must state a cause and effect relationship between the retinopathy and the diabetes before the retinopathy can be coded as a diabetic condition. Diabetes with ophthalmic manifestations is assigned to diabetic code 250.5. Other ophthalmic manifestations include the following: • blindness (369.00 to 369.9); • cataract (366.41); • glaucoma (365.44); • iritis/iridis rubeosis (364.42); • macular edema (362.07; also assign a code for the diabetic retinopathy, 362.01 to 362.06); • orbital osteomyelitis (376.03); • retinal edema (362.07; also assign a code for the diabetic retinopathy); • retinopathy (362.01 to 362.07); and • rubeosis iridis (364.42). Code 250.5 requires a fifth-digit subclassification to identify the type of diabetes and the control status as follows: • 0: type 2 or unspecified type, not stated as uncontrolled; • 1: type 1 (j Continue reading >>
