Icd-10 Codes For Diabetes
There's More Than One Type Of Diabetes... I'm pretty sure all of you who made it thus far in this article are familiar with the fact that there are at least two major types of diabetes: type I, or juvenile, and type II, with usual (though not mandatory) adult onset. Just like ICD-9, ICD-10 has different chapters for the different types of diabetes. The table below presents the major types of diabetes, by chapters, in both ICD coding versions. Diabetes Coding Comparison ICD-9-CM ICD-10-CM 249._ - Secondary diabetes mellitus E08._ - Diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition E09._ - Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus E13._ - Other specified diabetes mellitus 250._ - Diabetes mellitus E10._ - Type 1 diabetes mellitus E11._ - Type 2 diabetes mellitus 648._ - Diabetes mellitus of mother, complicating pregnancy, childbirth, or the puerperium O24._ - Gestational diabetes mellitus in pregnancy 775.1 - Neonatal diabetes mellitus P70.2 - Neonatal diabetes mellitus This coding structure for diabetes in ICD-10 is very important to understand and remember, as it is virtually always the starting point in assigning codes for all patient encounters seen and treated for diabetes. How To Code in ICD-10 For Diabetes 1. Determine Diabetes Category Again, "category" here refers to the four major groups above (not just to type 1 or 2 diabetes): E08 - Diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition E09 - Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus E10 - Type 1 diabetes mellitus E11 - Type 2 diabetes mellitus E13 - Other specified diabetes mellitus Note that, for some reason, E12 has been skipped. Instructions on Diabetes Categories Here are some basic instructions on how to code for each of the diabetes categories above: E08 - Diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition. Here, it is Continue reading >>

New Icd-10-cm Codes For Diabetes Self-management Training
ICD (International Classification of Diseases) codes are used by physicians and medical coders to assign medical diagnoses and report inpatient procedures. The ICD-9 code sets will be replaced by ICD-10 code •ICD-10-CM diagnosis coding which is for use in all U.S. health care settings. •ICD-10-PCS inpatient procedure coding which is for use in U.S. hospital settings. ICD-10-CM is for use in all U.S. health care settings. Diagnosis coding under ICD-10-CM uses 3 to 7 digits instead of the 3 to 5 digits used with ICD-9-CM, but the format of the code sets is similar. Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes will continue to be used for physician and outpatient services. It is important to note that the conversion to ICD-10 is not intended to impact payment levels, but claims could be denied if not coded correctly. It is not within the scope of practice of a diabetes educator to make a medical diagnosis. Diabetes educators may use this list to customize paper and electronic forms within their DSME programs to facilitate referrals for DSMT or MNT services and the development of super bills. Due to the large increase in the number of diagnosis codes in the ICD-10-CM code set as compared to the ICD-9-CM code set, mapping is not a straightforward correlation between codes of the two classification systems. In certain circumstances, the relationships and linkages between code sets are fairly close – at times a one-to-one correlation. The ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM codes listed below are a representative list of diagnosis codes for which individuals may be referred to a diabetes educator for self-management education. The list is not meant to be all-inclusive. Additional ICD-10-CM codes can be found at: All of the ICD-10-CM codes listed below have additional digit Continue reading >>
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus E10- >
A subtype of diabetes mellitus that is characterized by insulin deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe hyperglycemia, rapid progression to diabetic ketoacidosis, and death unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence. diabetes means your blood glucose, or blood sugar, is too high. With type 1 diabetes, your pancreas does not make insulin. 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. Type 1 diabetes happens most often in children and young adults but can appear at any age. Symptoms may include being very thirsty urinating often feeling very hungry or tired losing weight without trying having sores that heal slowly having dry, itchy skin losing the feeling in your feet or having tingling in your feet having blurry eyesight a blood test can show if you have diabetes. If you do, you will need to take insulin for the rest of your life. Diabetes mellitus characterized by insulin deficiency, sudden onset, severe hyperglycemia, rapid progression to ketoacidosis, and death unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence. Subtype of diabetes mellitus that is characterized by insulin deficiency; it is manifested by the sudden onset of severe hyperglycemia, rapid progression to diabetic ketoacidosis, and death unless treated with insulin; the disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.

Diabetes Complicating Pregnancy
Diabetes with Pregnancy Patient Encounter A 33-year old G2P1 female presented for her routine prenatal visit at 30 weeks gestation to see her obstetrician. With this pregnancy, her first prenatal visit was at 20 weeks and she has sporadically kept her appointments up to this visit. To note, her previous pregnancy two years ago was an uncomplicated vaginal delivery at 38 weeks gestation. The baby weighed 4.2kg at delivery and was complicated by shoulder dystocia. She had minimal general medical care between the pregnancies. At the patient’s 28 week visit, her prenatal surveillance included an abnormal 1-hr glucose challenge test. She returned for a follow up 3-hr OGTT, which revealed abnormal findings; these results were shared with the patient at the 30 week visit. Upon questioning, the patient admitted that there is a family history of diabetes in several of her relatives; however, she has never been tested for diabetes. The patient’s evaluation also demonstrated a body mass index (BMI) of 34, BP 130/78 and fetal heart tones at 148 BPM. Based on these results, the obstetrician diagnosed the patient with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and established a plan of care for the duration of her pregnancy. This plan of care included nutritional counseling with monitoring of her blood glucose as well as possible medical intervention, if glycemic control could not be established. Additionally, the plan called for increased antenatal surveillance based on glycemic control Coding: ICD-9 to ICD-10 In ICD-9-CM, gestational diabetes mellitus codes to 648.83, Abnormal glucose tolerance of mother, antepartum condition or complication. In ICD-10, this condition maps to code O24.410, Gestational diabetes mellitus in pregnancy, diet controlled. Note the change in terminology betw Continue reading >>
Icd 10 Chapter 12 Endocrine And Chapter 15 Circulatory
A cause and effect relationship is presumed with all diabetic manifestations. Dehydration, volume depletion, and hypovolemia all classify to the same ICD-10-CM code. In ICD-10-CM there are only two category codes for diabetes mellitus. In ICD-10-CM, if the diabetes is due to an adverse effect of a drug, there is an Instructional note to assign a T36-T50 code as an additional or secondary code. ____ is a condition that results in excessive circulating cortisol levels. The ____ is responsible for the "fight or flight" response during stress. A patient is admitted because of uncontrolled diabetes resulting from Cushing's syndrome. Patient is on insulin. Patient was admitted for a total thyroidectomy. Patient had been having progressive symptoms with a substernal multinodular goiter. The procedure was performed as planned. Pathology confirmed a multinodular goiter. Patient is an elderly gentleman who was admitted from the ER with pain and swelling of his right knee.

2018 Icd-10 Update Part 3: New Codes For Diabetes, Myopia Start October 1st
Like most eye care practices, you likely treat patients with co-morbid conditions. The patient population of many practices is often older than average, and many times chronically ill. So, correctly coding for co-morbidity is essential in avoiding costly revenue leaks that could drain cash from your practice. New Options for DKA Coding Recent studies have shown that the number of type 2 patients presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis has been increasing, and that’s one reason for the new DKA codes. Prior to the 2018 revisions, the best coding option to describe a patient with type 2 DKA was E11.69 (Type 2 diabetes mellitus with other specified complication). Beginning October 1, 2017, you’ll see a new subdivision among the E11 (Type 2 diabetes mellitus) codes: E11.1 (Type 2 diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis). This new subdivision includes two codes: E11.10 (… without coma) E11.11 (… with coma). Other DKA-related additions occur in the following code series: E08 — (Diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition) E09 — (Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus…) E10 — (Type 1 diabetes mellitus …) E13 — (Other specified diabetes mellitus …) All four series contain XXX.1 (… with ketoacidosis) as a subdivision containing two codes: XXX.10 (… without coma) XXX.11 (… with coma). Updates for Coding Medical Management of Diabetes General guidelines for coding diabetes mellitus and secondary diabetes mellitus instruct coders how to report the medical management of diabetes. The ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting are available here. You’ll find the first revisions in bold under Chapter 4.a.1, ‘Diabetes mellitus and the use of insulin and oral hypoglycemics’: “An additional code should be assigned from category Z79 to identi Continue reading >>

2017/18 Icd-10-cm Diagnosis Code E10.69
Type 1 diabetes mellitus with other specified complication E10.69 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2018 edition of ICD-10-CM E10.69 became effective on October 1, 2017. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of E10.69 - other international versions of ICD-10 E10.69 may differ. Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. For such conditions the ICD-10-CM has a coding convention that requires the underlying condition be sequenced first followed by the manifestation. Wherever such a combination exists there is a "use additional code" note at the etiology code, and a "code first" note at the manifestation code. These instructional notes indicate the proper sequencing order of the codes, etiology followed by manifestation. In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere." Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code. "In diseases classified elsewhere" codes are never permitted to be used as first listed or principle diagnosis codes. They must be used in conjunction with an underlying condition code and they must be listed following the underlying condition. The following code(s) above E10.69 contain annotation back-references In this context, annotation back-references refer to codes that contain: Continue reading >>
Icd-10 Training: Coding For Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus coding under ICD-10 will require documentation with greater specificity and detail In order to understand diabetes coding in ICD-10, it’s worth making a comparison of the structural differences between ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM. Diabetes mellitus (DM) codes in ICD-10-CM are combination codes that include the type of DM, the body system affected, and the complication affecting that body system as part of the code description. Subcategory levels first specify the type of complication by system, such as diabetes with kidney complications, ophthalmic complications, neurological complications, and circulatory complications. The subclassification level then describes the particular manifestation. For example: E11.3: Type 2 diabetes mellitus with ophthalmic complications. E11.32: Type 2 diabetes mellitus with mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy. E11.321: Type 2 diabetes mellitus with mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy with macular edema. E11.329: Type 2 diabetes mellitus with mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy without macular edema. A subcategory for diabetes mellitus with other specified complications is also provided that includes codes for DM with diabetic neuropathic arthropathy, diabetic dermatitis, foot ulcer, other skin ulcer, periodontal disease, hypoglycemia, and hyperglycemia. As many codes as are needed to describe all of the associated complications that the patient has should be assigned from a particular category. Because of this code structure, there is no instructional note found under diabetes mellitus codes in ICD-10-CM requiring an additional code to identify the manifestation since it is already part of the code description. There are specific diabetes codes that do require additional codes in order to identify the ma Continue reading >>
Coding Tip: Reporting Diabetic Ketoacidosis (dka)
Coding Tip: Reporting Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) How do coders report diabetic ketoacidosis in ICD-10-CM? For FY2018 there is a new code to report Type 2 diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). This was previously reported with code E13.1-, other specified diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis with or without coma. Now, there is a code specifically for reporting this diagnosis. E11.1- is used to report Type 2 diabetes with DKA with or without coma. DKA is life threatening complication in patients with diabetes. This typically occurs in patients with type 1 diabetes but can also be found in patients with type 2. When a patient has DKA it is implied that they also have hyperglycemia so no additional code is needed to report that the diabetes is with hyperglycemia. A separate standalone code for hyperglycemia is also not reported and there is an excludes1 note in the tabular. DKA occurs when the body produces high levels of blood acids known as ketones. This develops when the body isnt producing enough insulin. When the body does not produce or have enough insulin, the body begins to break down fat as fuel. When the body switches to burning fat this produces a buildup of acids that are called ketones. Excess ketones build up and are spilled over into the urine. Certain medication uses especially steroids and diuretics Insulin is given to reverse the process that caused the patient to go into DKA. In severe cases, this will be given intravenously. Once the blood sugar levels fall to be below 240 mg/dL and the blood is no longer acidic, regular insulin therapy can be resumed. Fluid and electrolytes will also be replaced. The fluids are given either via mouth or IV and are given to replace the fluid lost through excessive urination. The fluid replacement will also help to dilute the exc Continue reading >>
Icd-10 Diagnosis Code E10.10
If you have diabetes, your blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels are too high. Over time, this can cause problems with other body functions, such as your kidneys, nerves, feet, and eyes. Having diabetes can also put you at a higher risk for heart disease and bone and joint disorders. Other long-term complications of diabetes include skin problems, digestive problems, sexual dysfunction, and problems with your teeth and gums. Very high or very low blood sugar levels can also lead to emergencies in people with diabetes. The cause can be an underlying infection, certain medicines, or even the medicines you take to control your diabetes. If you feel nauseated, sluggish or shaky, seek emergency care. NIH: National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases Diabetes - preventing heart attack and stroke (Medical Encyclopedia) Diabetes: Dental Tips - NIH (National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research) Diabetic hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome (Medical Encyclopedia) Diabetic ketoacidosis (Medical Encyclopedia) Also called: Insulin-dependent diabetes, Juvenile diabetes, Type I diabetes Diabetes means your blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels are too high. With type 1 diabetes, your pancreas does not make insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose get into your cells to give them energy. Without insulin, too much glucose stays in your blood.

Diabetes Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a syndrome characterized by hyperglycemia from impaired insulin production. Associated Risk factors: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) Non-ketotic hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar coma (NKHHC) Late Complications: Retinopathy Nephropathy Atherosclerotic coronary dz Peripheral arterial dz. Neuropathy ect Insulin Normally, insulin made by the pancreas gives the signal to your body’s cells to store glucose from the blood. A person with diabetes body’s cells are unable to store glucose. Without insulin glucose levels in the blood rise and spill over into the urine. Excess amounts of glucose in the blood may affect many organ systems including kidneys, vascular systems, eyes and nerves. Type 1 Diabetes Type 1 Diabetes is AKA insulin – dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), juvenile diabetes or childhood onset diabetes. Hereditary accounts for 10%-15% of IDDM patient. Type 1 patients must take insulin from childhood on since the pancreas cannot produce insulin. Treatment is daily insulin injections and diet control. Patients are rarely overweight. Coding type 1 in ICD-9 Use the fifth digit of either “1†or “3†to indicate a person with type 1. Use fifth digit “1†when the providers documentation DOES NOT STATE that the diabetes is uncontrolled Use fifth digit “3†when the documentation states the patient’s condition is uncontrolled. Usually the provider does not document whether the diabetes is uncontrolled. The provider needs to understand the coder cannot choose uncontrolled unless it is clearly stated in the EMR. Type II AKA non-insulin diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) or adult onset diabetes. It makes up approximately 90% of diabetic cases. Onset usually after age 30 and is associated with obe Continue reading >>
Coding Diabetes Mellitus In Icd-10-cm
The differences in the structure of the classification system between ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM are worth comparing in order to understand coding diabetes in ICD-10-CM. The table below compares categories and subcategories in the two systems for coding different types of diabetes mellitus: ICD-10-CM ICD-9-CM E08 Diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition E09 Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus E13 Other specified diabetes mellitus 249 Secondary diabetes mellitus E10 Type 1 diabetes mellitus E11 Type 2 diabetes mellitus 250 Diabetes mellitus O24 Diabetes mellitus in pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium 648.0 Diabetes mellitus complicating pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium P70.2 Neonatal diabetes mellitus 775.1 Neonatal diabetes melli Diabetes mellitus codes (DM) in ICD-10-CM are combination codes that include the type of DM, the body system affected, and the complication affecting that body system as part of the code description. As many codes as are needed to describe all of the associated complications that the patient has may be assigned from a particular category. Examples: E10.321 Type 1 diabetes mellitus with mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy with macular edema E09.51 Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with diabetic peripheral angiopathy without gangrene E11.42 Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic polyneuropathy Because of this code structure, there is no instructional note found under diabetes mellitus codes in ICD-10-CM requiring an additional code to identify the manifestation since it is already part of the code description. Specific diabetes codes require additional codes in order to identify the manifestation further, such as diabetes with foot ulcer to identify the site of the ulcer, or diabetes with chronic kidney dise Continue reading >>
