Coding Tip: Glasgow Coma Scale Coding OCG Update for FY2021 Sep 29, 2020 | Coding Tips, Education, ICD-10, Patricia Maccariella-HafeyThe coma scale codes (R40.2-) can be used in conjunction with traumatic brain injury codes, acute cerebrovascular disease or sequelae of cerebrovascular disease codes. These codes are primarily for use by trauma registries, but they may be used in any setting where this information is collected. The coma scale may also be used to assess the status of the central nervous system for other non-trauma conditions, such as monitoring patients in the intensive care unit regardless of medical condition. Coding Tip: Cardiac Arrest and Cardiac Shock Sep 21, 2020 | Coding Tips, Education, ICD-10, Patricia Maccariella-HafeyIn the past, there had been an Excludes1 note at I46.- Cardiac arrest that excluded R57.0, Cardiac shock. HIA had also received a letter from AHA on a case in the past that had stated that only I46.- Cardiac arrest would be coded if both were documented. In addition, the Third Quarter Coding Clinic page 26 had a similar case that asked if both could be coded, and AHA had instructed that only I46.9, cardiac arrest, cause unspecified would be coded if both were documented and that the CDC would be looking at possible revision to the Excludes1 note. New ICD-10-PCS Procedure Codes for COVID-19 Aug 4, 2020 | Coding Tips, Coronavirus, COVID-19, Education, ICD-10, Patricia Maccariella-HafeyThe Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services (CMS) announced new procedure codes for treatments of COVID-19 – effective as of August 1, 2020.
