ICD-10 CODING DOCUMENTATION GUIDELINES CEREBROVASCULAR DISEASE SEQUELA
MVP Health Care understands that diagnosis coding can be challenging. This Fast Fax will outline the coding guidelines for Strokes.
? Identify the deficit such as aphasia, dysphagia, monoplegia, hemiparesis ? Determine if dominant or non-dominant side is affected for hemiplegia/monoplegia cases ? Inquire about any alcohol, drug or tobacco use, abuse, or dependence ? Identify tobacco exposure (e.g., second hand, occupational, etc.)
INTRAOPERATIVE AND POSTPROCEDURAL CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENT ? Medical record documentation should clearly specify the cause-and-effect relationship between the medical intervention and the cerebrovascular accident in order to assign a code for intraoperative or post procedural cerebrovascular accident. ? Proper code assignment depends on whether it was an infarction or hemorrhage and whether it occurred intraoperatively or postoperatively. ? If it was a cerebral hemorrhage, code assignment depends on the type of procedure performed.
SEQUELA OF CEREBROVASCUALR DISEASE ? Category I69 is used to indicate conditions classifiable to categories I60-I67 as the causes of sequale (neurologic deficits) themselves classified elsewhere. ? The "late effects" include neurologic deficits that persist after initial onset of conditions classifiable to categories I60-I67. ? The neurologic deficits caused by cerebrovascular disease may be present from the onset or may arise at any time after the onset of the condition classifiable to categories I60-I67. ? Codes from category I69, Sequelae of cerebrovascular disease, that specify hemiplegia, hemiparesis and monoplegia identify whether the dominant or non-dominant side is affected. ? Should the affected side be documented, but not specified as dominant or non-dominant side, and the classification system does not indicate a default, code selection is as follows: o If the left side is affected, the default is non-dominant. o If the right side is affected, the default is dominant.
CODES FROM CATEGOARY I69 WITH CODES FROM I60-I67
? Codes from category I69 may be assigned on a health care record with codes I60-I67, if the patient has a current cerebrovascular disease and deficits from an old cerebrovascular disease. *****PLEASE DO NOT CODE AN ACUTE CVA IN AN OFFICE SETTING*****
