CHAPTER 3: ICD-10-CM OUTPATIENT CODING AND REPORTING GUIDELINES

Theory 1. False 2. True 3. False 4. False 5. True 6. False 7. False 8. True 9. False 10. False 11. True 12. True 13. True 14. False 15. False

Practical 16. Left upper quadrant abdominal pain, R10.12; end stage renal disease,

N18.6; dialysis status, Z99.2 17. Congestive heart failure, I50.9. The shortness of breath is a symptom of

congestive heart failure and is not reported. 18. Arteriosclerotic heart disease with unstable angina, I25.110. There

is a combination code for arteriosclerotic heart disease and unstable angina. Even though the question states the patient has a history of



95

arteriosclerotic heart disease, it means that the patient currently has coronary artery disease as the condition does not go away.

19. Hypertension with end stage renal disease, I12.0; end stage renal dis-ease, N18.6. There is a combination code for hypertension with end stage renal disease. I12.0 assumes a causal relationship in this scenario. Under code I12.0 in the Tabular, a notation states “Use additional code to identify the stage of the chronic kidney disease (N18.5, N18.6).”

20. Chemotherapy for neoplasm, Z51.11; prostate cancer, C61. The admission for chemotherapy is always fi rst-listed, followed by the type of neoplasm.

21. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with acute lower respiratory infection, J44.0. A combination code includes COPD and the acute lower respiratory infection.

22. Inguinal hernia, K40.90; upper respiratory tract infection, J06.9; procedure scheduled but not performed due to contraindications, Z53.09. The Guidelines state to code the reason for the surgery fi rst. The fever is not reported as it is a symptom of the URI.

23. Exposure to tuberculosis, Z20.1 24. Chest pain with breathing, R07.1 25. Abnormal perfusion study, R94.39; cardiovascular disease, I25.10. The

purpose of the visit is the abnormal perfusion study; therefore, it is reported fi rst, followed by the cardiovascular disease.

26. Hallux valgus, M20.11; asthma with exacerbation, J45.901. The reason for the surgery is reported fi rst, followed by the asthma with exacerbation.

27. Contusion of the left cheek, S00.83xA; fi st fi ght, Y04.0xxA. External cause codes are never reported as a fi rst-listed diagnosis.

28. Fractured shaft of right femur, S72.301A; falling off horse being ridden; V80.010A, horseback riding, Y93.52. The external cause codes are never fi rst-listed codes. If the activity at the time of the event is known, it is reported after the external cause code.

29. Encounter for insulin pump titration, Z46.81 30. Supervision in second trimester of high risk pregnancy due to previous

ectopic pregnancy, O09.12. 31. Infant, liveborn, twin, born in hospital, Z38.30. 32. Encounter for change of nephrostomy tube, Z43.6. 33. Abrasion of left upper arm, S40.812A. 34. Either code could be fi rst-placed because both problems were addressed.

Hypertension, I10, or psoriasis, L40.9 35. COPD with acute bronchitis, J44.0; cigarette smoker, F17.210. If the

infectious organism is known, it would also be reported.
