GENERAL CODING GUIDELINES FOR
2011
For reporting purposes only codes are permissible not categories, subcategories.
The 7th character is applicable when required.
Place holder “x” is used as a placeholder on certain codes to allow for future
expansion of the code. Example: poisoning, adverse effect, and underdosing
codes (T36-T50) may need a placeholder to be considered a valid code.
7th Character – The 7th character must always be the 7th character in the data
field. If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, then a place
holder must be used to fill in the empty characters.
• “NEC”- still represents not elsewhere classifiable in the Alphabetical Index.
• NOS – still represents not other wise specified and is the equivalent of
unspecified in the
Alphabetic Index.
• “NEC” still represents not elsewhere classifiable in the Tabular list.
• NOS still represents not otherwise specified and is the equivalent of
unspecified in the
Tabular List
GENERAL CODING GUIDELINES
Locating a code- Locate a code in the Alphabetical Index and verify the code in the Tabular list.
Apply instructional notes that appear in both the Alphabetical Index and the Tabular List. (same)
Level of detail in Coding- Codes must be reported to the highest level of detail. Codes from A00 – T88.9,
Z00-Z99 - must be used to identify diagnosis, symptoms conditions, problems, complaints, or other
reason(s) for a
encounter/visit. (same)
Signs and symptoms – signs and symptoms must be reported when a related definitive diagnosis has not
be established by the provider. (same)
Conditions that are integral part of a disease process – signs and symptoms that are routinely associated
with a disease process should not be coded, unless otherwise instructed by the classification. (same)
Laterality – for bilateral sites the sites the final character of the code in ICD-10-CM indicates laterality. If
no bilateral code is provided, and the condition is bilateral then assign separate codes for both the left
and the right side (new).
Combination code - is a single code used to classify:
- Two diagnoses, or a diagnosis with an associated secondary process (manifestation
- A diagnosis with an associated complication (new)
DIAGNOSTIC CODING AND REPORTING GUIDELINES FOR
OUTPATIENT SERVICES
Selection of first listed diagnosis – Coding conventions of ICD-10-CM as well as general
disease
specific guidelines take precedence over the outpatient guidelines.
Codes from A00 – T88.9, Z00-Z99 - must be used to identify diagnosis, symptoms conditions,
problems, complaints, or other reason(s) for a encounter/visit.
Accurate reporting of ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes – Documentation should describe the
patient’s condition using terminology which includes specific diagnoses as well as
symptoms,
problems, or reason for the encounter.
Factors influencing health status – Z00- Z99 are provided to deal with occasions when
circumstances other than a disease or injury are recorded as diagnosis or problems.
Level of detail in Coding – ICD-10-CM codes are 3,4,5,6 or 7 characters. Codes with three
characters are head of a category codes. Subdivided by the use of fourth, fifth, sixth, or
seventh
characters to provide greater specificity. A code is not valid if it has not been coded to the
full number of
characters required for that code, including the 7th character extension, if applicable.

Reason for visit : Follow-up- Nephrology
Progress Note: __________is a 87 y.o. male who presents for follow-up of chronic kidney disease stage 3. It appears that
he developed sudden onset of shortness of breath after seeing me and was hospitalized for a few days with CHF
exacerbation and pneumonia. Since then he has been doing better.

• Continues to have dyspnea on exertion
• Gastrointestinal: Negative for nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

Assessment & Plan
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Chronic Kidney Disease stage 3 with episodes of AKI secondary to ischemic nephropathy and possibly
hypertension . According to him his renal function was checked a month ago at his PCP's office and he
was told it was better. I will check renal function again.
No proteinuria or even microalbuminuria .
Secondary hyperparathyroidism of renal origin. Patient is being treated with vitamin D. I will check PTH,
phosphorus and calcium today.
Anemia of chronic kidney disease. Hemoglobin has been was below the goal of 10 - 12 g/dL for CKD. I
will check a CBC today. He may benefit from treatment with ESA.
Blood pressure. Patients blood pressure ( 131/60 ) is within the desired goal of <130/80 for CKD.
Volume status. The patient appears to be hypervolemic but better than his last visit. His lungs sounded
better and edema is less. He is now on Bumetanide. I did not change the dose.
Discussed health maintenance, including regular aerobic exercise, low fat/low salt diet, and periodic
exams.
Return to Clinic in 6 months and as needed. Patient has issues with transportation and stated that it costs
him a lot of money to come and see me. I left the decision regarding future appointments.
DOCUMENTATION
CHALLENGE
Addendum: Hyperkalemia has resolved. No microalbuminuria, normal vitamin D
level. PTH remains unchanged and not too high for degree of renal function. He
remains anemic, but no indication for treatment with ESA. I suggest checking his
iron stores.

Actions:
Issues:
• The CHF was mentioned in the HPI,
but was not documented and
addressed in the Assessment and
Plan.
• The CHF was not specified
• Anemia of chronic kidney disease
is not listed in the visit diagnoses
section in the EMR.
• Are the codes sequenced
appropriately?
• Coding guidelines state that
chronic conditions that are
addressed during the encounter
should be coded. Coding
Professional (CP) should contact
provider about clinical
significance of CHF.
• Anemia of chronic kidney disease
needs to be added to the list of visit
diagnoses.
• Codes should be sequenced in
accordance with coding
guidelines.
DOCUMENTATION
CHALLENGE
Documentation issues are resolved:
CP contacts the provider and CHF is added to the assessment and plan. The provider
documents that the patient has chronic systolic heart failure. Anemia of chronic kidney
disease is added to the visit diagnoses list
Visit diagnoses for this encounter have been revised:
1. I12.9 – Hypertensive chronic kidney disease, with stage 1-4 chronic kidney
disease, or unspec CKD
2. N18.3 – Chronic kidney disease, stage III (moderate)
3. I50.22 - Chronic systolic congestive heart failure
4. N25.1 - Hyperparathyroidism
5. D63.1 – Anemia in chronic kidney disease
FAILURE TO IMPLEMENT
Failure to successfully implement ICD-10-CM:
Potential to create distorted or misinterpreted information about
patient care
Impacts decisions to improve healthcare delivery
Creates coding and billing backlog
Increases in claims rejections/denials
Causes cash flow delays
Places payer contracts and/or market share arrangements at risk
due to poor quality rating or higher costs
OPPORTUNITIES
• IT coupled with the adoption of ICD-10-CM can effect the
quality, effectiveness, and delivery of health care
services
• The classification requires front-end documentation
improvement of medical information
• Significant shift in delivery and finance
• Development of EHR components
