Back 1

Code the condition or nature of the late effect, then use a late effect code.

Front 2

CKD

Back 2

Chronic kidney disease

Front 3

AMI

Back 3

Acute myocardial infarction

Front 4

Coding pressure ulcer

Back 4

Two codes are needed code 707.0 pressure ulcer to idenify the site, and 707.2 ulcer stage

Front 5

Acute fractures vs. aftercare

Back 5

Pathologic fractures are reported 733.1 while receiving active treatment, aftercare codes are use for encounters affter the completion of active treatment V54.0, V54.2, V54.8, V54.9 casting change or removal, adjustments and follow up visits.

Front 6

Coding for congenital anomalies 740-759

Back 6

when there is no unique code for the anomaly code manifestations. When there is a specific dodes and there are manifestation that are inherent with the anomaly do not code the manifestations. If there are manifestations that are not an inherent component then code them.

Front 7

Perinatal period

Back 7

Birth through the 28th day

Front 8

Coding for congenital anomalies 740-759

Back 8

when there is no unique code for the anomaly code manifestations. When there is a specific dodes and there are manifestation that are inherent with the anomaly do not code the manifestations. If there are manifestations that are not an inherent component then code them.

Front 9

Coding for congenital anomalies 740-759

Back 9

when there is no unique code for the anomaly code manifestations. When there is a specific codes and there are manifestation that are inherent with the anomaly do not code the manifestations. If there are manifestations that are not an inherent component then code them.

Newborn transfers

Back 21

V30 series is not used at the receiving hospital

Front 22

Code V29 observation and evaluation of newborns, suspected conditions not found.

Back 22

When the patient has identifed signs or symptoms code the sign or symptom not V29.

Coding birth with a congenital anomaly

Back 23

Code V30 birth first then the anomaly. 740-759

Front 24

Injury coding

Back 24

Code the most serious injury as determined by the provider and the focus of treatment first.

Front 25

Superficial injuries, abrasions or contusions

Back 25

Are not coded when associated with more severe injuries of the same site.

Front 26

Primary injury with damage to nerves or blood vessels

Back 26

Code the primary injury first with additional code for nerves and blood vessel injury.
950-957 or 900-904

Front 27

Multiple fractures sequencing

Back 27

sequenced accordance with the severity of the fracture.

Front 28

Trama fractures vs. aftercare

Back 28

Code using the acute fracture codes 800-929 while patient is receiving active treatment use aftercare codes for encournters during healing or recovery V54.0 ,
V54.1, V54.8, V54.9

Front 29

Complications of fracture care, such as malunion

Back 29

Code the complication

Front 30

Sequencing of burn conditions

Back 30

first code the highest degree of burn when more then one burn is present

Front 31

When admitted for burn injuries and related conditions such as smoke inhalation/respiratory failure

Back 31

Read documentation for circumstances of admission for first listed diagnosis.

Front 32

Burns of same local site but different degrees

Back 32

Code tothe highest degree

Front 33

Assign separate codes for each burn site

Back 33

Cat 946 multiple specified sites, should only be used when the documentation is unspecified of burn location or vague.

Front 34

Burn coding must have percentage of total body surface involved

Back 34

Cat code 948

Front 35

Rule of 9

Back 35

Estimating body surface involved: Head and neck are 9% each arm 9% each leg 18% anterior trunk 18% posterior trunk 18% and genitalia 1%
