HTS ICD-10-CM
Training
Objectives • Will learn the history and development of ICD-10
• Will understand the ICD-10 terminology and coding
guidelines
• Distinguish the similarities and differences between ICD-9 and ICD-10
• Demonstrate the ability to assign correct ICD-10
codes within Rehab Optima
ICD History • ICD – International Classification of Diseases
We have been using this system since the 1990’s
to assign diagnosis codes for reimbursement, morbidity & mortality statistics, and automated
decision support in health care
• Owned and published by World Health
Organization (WHO)
• ICD-9-CM: the ninth revision, clinical modification has been used since 1979
• ICD-10: was developed in the 90’s and has been
used in other countries

ICD-10 Compliance Dates • The Federal Government has mandated the
change from ICD-9 to ICD-10 effective October 1,
2015
• SNF claims will be based on DOS
September, 2015 claims will use ICD-9
October, 2015 claims will use ICD-10
Why Change? • Greater specificity and detail
• Combination codes
• Code titles and languages complement accepted
clinical practice
• Potential to reveal more about quality of care
Organizational Changes ICD-9-CM ICD-10-CM
17,000 codes 70,000 codes
Uses of V and E codes Incorporated into the main classifications
Classifies injuries by type Groups injuries first by specific site and then type
3-5 numeric characters (except V and E)
3-7 alpha and numeric codes, all letters except “U” is used
No Laterality Laterality
No place holders May use place holders (i.e. X)

Example of Structure
• S52 - Fracture of forearm
• S52.5 – Fracture of lower end of radius
• S52.52 – Torus fracture of lower end of radius
• S52.521 – Torus fracture of lower end of Right radius
• S52.521D – Torus fracture of lower end of R radius,
subsequent care
Episode of Care 7th Character used for Injuries and certain other
consequences of external causes
• “A” - Initial encounter: used in the hospital (surgery, emergency room visit/observation)
• “D” – Subsequent encounter: used after the patient
has received active treatment of the condition and
is receiving routine care during the healing or recovery phase
• “S” – Sequela: used to indicate conditions after the
acute phase of illness has ended
HTS ICD-10 Training 5/19/2015
Proactive Medical Review & Consultants, LLC. 4
CVA • Sequela of cerebrovascular disease (I69) – residual
effects after the acute phase of illness has ended
• Types of CVA’s:
Nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage
Nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage
Nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage
Cerebral infarction
Other cerebrovascular disease
Unspecified cerebrovascular disease
Dominant vs. Non-dominant
• Hemiplegia – “Should the affected side be
documented, but not specified as dominant or nondominant then left side is always nondominant.”
Myocardial Infarction • Acute myocardial infarction – 4 weeks or less (I21)
even if transferred to a post-acute setting, as
long as receiving continued care for the MI
• If receiving care r/t MI after 4 week time frame, use most appropriate aftercare code
• For MI > 4 weeks old not requiring further care use
125.2- Old MI
HTS ICD-10 Training 5/19/2015
Proactive Medical Review & Consultants, LLC. 5
Fractures Should not use aftercare codes and instead code the fracture and then use the appropriate 7th character describing the episode of care (usually subsequent care)
Example: Patient admitted for rehab following a nondisplaced greenstick fracture of the shaft of the left humerus due to a fall at home one month ago when she tripped over her cat. She has pain in the shoulder and now has muscle weakness and shoulder joint stiffness.
• S42.312D - D in 7th character indicates subsequent care for routine healing of traumatic fracture
• Would also code the joint stiffness M25.612, shoulder pain M25.512, and muscle weakness/atrophy M62.512
Fracture Specificity Type of fracture
Anatomical Site
Displaced vs. nondisplaced
Laterality
Routine vs delayed healing
Nonunion vs malunion
Type of encounter
Fracture Specificity Rules • A fracture not indicated as displaced or
nondisplaced should be coded to displaced
• A fracture not designated as open or closed should be coded to closed
• Pathological fracture must describe the underlying
disease
• Traumatic fracture s/p ORIF surgery, code the
fracture first and then the presence of the artificial joint
• No fracture, just ORIF surgery, code just the
presence of the artificial joint
HTS ICD-10 Training 5/19/2015
Proactive Medical Review & Consultants, LLC. 6
Pathological Example • Patient is an 82 year old female with a known history of
osteoporosis who is referred to outpatient therapy for a
pathological fracture of the shaft of her left humerus that occurred 1 month ago. She has pain in the shoulder
and now has muscle weakness/atrophy and shoulder
joint stiffness. She is still being seen by the physician for routine healing of the fracture during the recovery phase
• Since patient has a known history of OP that caused the
fracture and she is still under the care of a physician for routine healing, you would code: M80.022D
• Would also code the joint stiffness M25.612, shoulder
pain M25.512, and muscle weakness/atrophy M62.512
Traumatic Fx s/p ORIF Example
• Patient is an 83 year old female who fell out of her
bed and fractured her right hip. Patient had a right
total hip arthroplasty performed 2 weeks ago and is now entering a SNF for rehab. She is WBAT using a
walker for ambulation and her right hip pain is 4/10.
• Would code Z96.641 for the presence of right artificial hip joint, S72.111D for displaced fracture of
greater trochanter of right femur, R26.2 for difficulty in walking, M25.551 for the right hip pain
Non-traumatic/No Fx, S/P ORIF
Example • Patient is a 74 year old male who underwent a left
total knee replacement one week ago. Patient is
WBAT using a walker, complains of 6/10 pain in the left knee, presents with left knee effusion and
impaired ROM in knee extension and flexion.
• Would code left knee pain M25.562, difficulty walking R26.2, left knee effusion M25.462, left knee
stiffness M25.662, and presence of left artificial knee joint Z96.652

Laterality • Right
• Left
• Bilateral
• Unspecified
• If bilateral is not available, assign code for right and
left
Other specified vs. Unspecified
• Other specified - your know what specific type it is,
but it is not listed for you to choose
• Unspecified – you do not know the specific type, so you are using a “general” code
Admission/Encounters for Rehab
• No equivalent code for V57 therapy codes o V57.89 Multiple therapies
o V57.1 Care involving PT
o V57.21 Care involving OT
o V57.3 Care involving ST
• When reason for admission is for rehabilitation,
sequence first code for condition for which the
service is being performed
Example: Admitted for therapy for right sided dominant hemiplegia following a CVA.
o Code I69.351-Hemiplegia & hemiparesis following cerebral
infarction affecting right dominant side
HTS ICD-10 Training 5/19/2015
Proactive Medical Review & Consultants, LLC. 8
Encounter for Rehab Example:
• 74-year-old patient fell at home and sustained a
subtrochanteric fracture of the left femur and was
discharged from the hospital to a SNF. Physician ordered PT for difficulty in walking.
ICD-10 codes on the UB-04
Medicare Part A Rehab to Home Medicare Part A LTC Resident
• Principal diagnosis - the medical reason for hospitalization
Example:
Hospitalized for COPD exacerbation admitted to SNF for short-term rehab
Code principal diagnosis as COPD exacerbation (J44.1)
Therapy would also code COPD as medical diagnosis
• Principal diagnosis - the medical reason for why they require LTC
Example:
Hospitalized for COPD exacerbation admitted to SNF for rehab and will remain in LTC
Code principal diagnosis as Alzheimer’s disease (G30.9)
Therapy would use COPD as medical diagnosis
Secondary Codes Currently no guidelines on sequencing secondary
codes:
These additional codes should include other comorbidities that have an effect on resident’s
complexity, clinical conditions that arose in the
SNF, and diagnosis that may affect the resident’s treatment or length of stay
HTS ICD-10 Training 5/19/2015
Proactive Medical Review & Consultants, LLC. 9
Therapy Medical Diagnosis
• On the therapy evaluation/POC, therapists always
use the medical reason for why therapy is medically necessary regardless of rehab to home or LTC
placement. This may or may not be the same as
the facilities principal diagnosis
Therapy Medical Diagnosis Example:
• Resident with Parkinson’s Disease returns after a MCR qualifying hospitalization for pneumonia to start a new Medicare Part A stay.
Pneumonia is listed as the medical diagnosis on the therapy eval/POC to support the skilled therapy services along with the appropriate therapy treatment diagnoses. However, Parkinson’s is the reason for the continued facility stay (principal diagnosis) and continues to be sequenced first on the diagnosis list and UB-04, with pneumonia being sequenced second.
Diagnosis Management
o Only the provider can determine a diagnosis
o Only code what is documented in the medical
record by the provider
o Always code to the highest level of specificity
o Inconsistent, missing, or conflicting documentation must be resolved by the provider

Facility Process for Assigning ICD-10 Codes
• Who determines what codes to use?
• Within 24 hours?
• Where will they be recorded? o On Face Sheets?
o A diagnosis list?
o In the computer
• Do all staff have access to the diagnosis?
• How are they updated?
• Are they recorded in section “I” of the MDS?

Case Study #1 Resident admitted following hospital stay for an acute
cerebral infarction. He will receive PT, OT, and ST for
the resulting left hemiplegia of the non-dominant side, dysphasia, and facial droop. Other admitting
diagnosis include: GERD, rheumatoid arthritis, and early onset Alzheimer’s
with dementia and aggressive
behavior.
What diagnosis codes are assigned?
HTS ICD-10 Training 5/19/2015

Case Study #1 Answers
• I69.354 Hemiplegia, following, cerebrovascular disease, cerebral infarction, or Sequelae (of), infarction, cerebral, hemiplegia
• I69.321 Dysphasia, following, cerebrovascular disease, cerebral infarction or Sequelae (of), infarction, cerebral, dysphasia
• I69.392 Sequelae (of), infarction, cerebral, facial droop
• K21.9 Disease, diseased, gastroesophageal reflux (GERD)
• M06.9 Arthritis, arthritic (acute),(chronic),(nonpyogenic) (subacute), rheumatoid
• G30.0 Disease, diseased, Alzheimer’s, early onset, with behavioral disturbance
• F02.81 Dementia with behavioral disturbance
Case Study #1 Rationale
• The hemiplegia, dysphasia, and facial droop are
considered residual conditions of the acute
cerebral infarction and are the reason that the patient is admitted to the nursing home. Coding
guidelines state that the residual condition is sequenced first, followed by the cause of the
sequela. In this case of cerebrovascular disease, the
sequela code has been expanded to include the manifestation and is an exception to the coding
guideline.
Case Study #2 81-year-old long term resident due to CHF and atrial
fibrillation was transferred to hospital following a fall
from the bed. She was re-admitted to nursing facility to resume care and add PT following open reduction
and pinning of left comminuted subcapital femoral neck fracture.
What diagnosis codes
are assigned?
HTS ICD-10 Training 5/19/2015
Proactive Medical Review & Consultants, LLC. 14
Case Study #2 Answers
I50.9 Failure, failed, heart (acute) (senile) (sudden)
congestive (compensated) (decompensated)
I48.91 Fibrillation, atrial or auricular (established)
S72.012D Fracture, traumatic (abduction) (adduction) (separation), femur, femoral neck, see
Fracture, femur upper end, subcapital
(displaced)
Case Study #2 Rationale
• The sixth character 2 for the left hip is obtained from
the Tabular. The seventh character D is used for the
subsequent encounter with routine healing. The external cause code is assigned, but no place of
occurrence or activity codes because this is subsequent care. The reason for the readmission is
the CHF and atrial fibrillation.
