Study Notes
Infectious and Parasitic Diseases
- Infectious diseases are transmitted through personal contact or contaminated items.
- Key coding for antibiotic resistance can be identified using the additional code Z16.-.
- Certain localized infections are excluded from this category and are addressed in system-related chapters.
- Exclusions include carriers of infectious diseases (Z22.-), complications during pregnancy (O98.-), diseases during the perinatal period (P35-P39), and acute respiratory infections (J00-J22).
- The category encompasses diseases recognized as communicable or transmissible.
Neoplasms
- All neoplasms, active or inactive, are classified under codes C00-D49.
- Functional activity may be coded additionally using Chapter 4 codes.
- Neoplasms are primarily categorized by site (topography) and behavior (malignant, benign, etc.).
- Use the Table of Neoplasms for accurate topography coding; some cancers have morphology included in the classification.
- Overlapping primary malignant neoplasms are classified to the specific subcategory code, unless otherwise indexed.
- For multiple non-contiguous neoplasms, assign codes for each separate tumor site.
Immunity Disorders and Endocrine, Nutritional, and Metabolic Diseases
- Cover codes from 240-279 in the ICD coding manual regarding immunity and metabolic disorders.
- Specific categories include:
- Disorders of the Thyroid Gland
- Other Endocrine Gland Diseases
- Nutritional Deficiencies
- Other Metabolic and Immunity Disorders
- Key examples: Diabetes mellitus (E08-E13), Malnutrition (E40-E46), Overweight and obesity (E65-E68).
Mental, Behavioral, and Neurodevelopmental Disorders
- Codes F01-F99 encompass mental and behavioral conditions.
- Exclusions pertain to symptoms, signs, and laboratory findings not classified elsewhere (R00-R99).
- The chapter includes disorders of psychological development, impacting a range of ages and conditions.
Diseases of Blood and Blood Forming Organs
- Cover coders D50-D90, with ongoing updates to these codes.
- Common categories within this section:
- Nutritional Anemias
- Hemolytic Anemias
- Aplastic and Other Anemias
- Coagulation defects and hemorrhagic conditions
- Other diseases associated with blood forming organs and immune mechanism disorders.
- Notable examples include:
- Sideropenic dysphagia (D50.1)
- Alpha thalassaemia (D56.0)
- Diseases of the spleen (D73).
