Question - Intraocular Lens What is the diagnosis code assignment for contraction of the anterior capsule causing the intraocular lens implant to be displaced following extraction of a cataract? The physician uses a laser to repair the torn capsule and reposition the lens. Can you explain why X is the correct choice? A.996.69 B.996.53 ANSWER C.998.82
V Codes Can you help us with V-codes - in particular knowing WHEN we would need to add one. For example if we are reading a test question that we need to code the DX and TX how would we know we also need to assign a V-code. E-codes just pop out at you......PT fell at home and broke an arm. Code the break and the E-code. But V-codes are much harder to know just by reading a question that we need to code one. Thanks! Linda ANSWER
Orthopedics - Casting & Strapping Please review casting and strapping coding. I get confused as to when it is bundled and when it isn't. ANSWER
Coding for GERD What is the difference between 530.81 and 530.11? 530.81 Esophageal reflux 530.11 Reflux esophagitis ANSWER
Bill First - ICD Sequencing Is there a rule of thumb to which code should be billed first if the ICD-9 does not state otherwise? For example 250.40 and 585.3, I understand that, but maybe a good example might be dehydration due to flu. What is the rule to "bill first". My thinking is, you would have the flu before the dehydration, but then my over thinking kicks in and thinks that you wouldn't maybe have an office visit if you weren't dehydrated. Thank you for your help on this biggie. ANSWER
Omit Code Can you please explain the USE of "Omit Code" in the ICD-9?? I just don't get it! If we are not to use this code then why have it in the book?!?!?! This is what I am thinking it means - can you confirm or tell me what it does in fact mean? Example in volume 3 ICD-9 Hospital procedures 39.3 Suture of a vessel Then under that it has an "Excludes note" and under that "Omit Code" and it lists other codes like 39.52 49.95 57.93 39.41 21.00 - 21.09 60.94 28.7 = does it mean that if I am coding anything from this list that I should not code anything in the 39.3 category as well? ANSWER
Poll Poll - AAPC or AHIMA?
