Study Notes
ICD-10-CM Coding
- ICD-10-CM coding is used to report diagnoses and procedures in healthcare settings.
- It is essential to use the correct coding to ensure accurate reimbursement and data analysis.
Coding Scenarios
- A 55-year-old female with right hydronephrosis presents for a cystourethroscopy with a retrograde pyelogram: N13.30
- A patient returns to her gynecologist's office to review the results of her ultrasound, revealing a uterine fibroid measuring 4.0 cm: D25.1
- A patient diagnosed with BPH presents with urinary urgency: N40.1, R39.15
- A pregnant female, at 21 weeks, is diagnosed with iron-deficiency anemia and is sent to the clinic for a transfusion: D50.9, O99.012, Z3A.21
- A woman is readmitted one week after delivery with a diagnosis of delayed hemorrhage due to retained placental fragments: O72.2, O71.9
- A patient presented to the emergency department with second-degree burns to both forearms, which makes up 9% TBSA: T22.212A, T22.211A, T31.0, Z34.90
- A male newborn, delivered vaginally in the hospital, is born with jaundice: P59.9, Z38.30
- A patient is being admitted for dehydration and anorexia due to dementia: F50.00, E86.0, F02.80
- A patient has an elevated blood pressure reading: I10
- A provider performs an open reduction and internal fixation for left fibula and tibia fractures: S82.402A, S82.202A

Guidelines and Principles
- The perinatal period begins at 28 weeks and ends at 7 days: C
- External cause codes are used to report the cause of an injury or illness, not the reason for a screening exam: A
- When a patient presents for a screening test and the provider finds something abnormal, the diagnosis code for the abnormality should be sequenced first: A
- Codes for signs and symptoms should be reported when they are not integral to the definitive diagnosis: C
- When a patient has a diagnosis that is not confirmed, a code for the signs and symptoms should be reported: C
