    The ICD-9 system was used assign codes to diagnoses and procedures. Effective on October 1, 2015, ICD-9 was replaced by ICD-10 diagnosis codes because it could not measure quality of care accurately. ICD-9 could not handle reimbursement claims because it was not developed for that. ICD-10 has the capability therefore ultimately will help in lowering coding errors and rejected reimbursement claims. The ICD-10 was put into place to assess the outcome of new procedures and emerging health care conditions with precise codes. This will help the healthcare industry to improve the administration of patient care and enhance the description of new diseases.

    I agree with everything you said. The ICD-9 is very different than the ICD-10 because the ICD-do uses codes that are longer than those of ICD-9. Also, the ICD-10 support further use of combination codes that can be used to classify such things as multiple diagnoses or a diagnosis with a complication. The ICD-9 is only permitted numeric codes.…

    The term first-listed diagnosis/condition is used in the outpatient setting in lieu of principal diagnosis, once again because of the timing. Often, diagnoses are not established at the time of the initial encounter in the outpatient setting and it may take two or more visits prior to a confirmed diagnosis. The documentation to support the reason for the visit should describe the patient's condition, using terminology that includes either specific diagnoses and/or symptoms, problems, or reasons for the encounter. In the instance where a discrepancy is discovered, determining the first-listed diagnosis per the coding conventions of ICD-9-CM, as well as the general and disease-specific guidelines within ICD-9-CM, will have precedence over the outpatient guidelines.…

    The ICD-10-CM 2016 A & C assessments, I felt is well designed the two assessments was both challenging and eye opening to what information I had retained from the coding courses taken in the HIM program at CSU. The assessments actually made me think, especially since majority of the questions that are asked were not covered in the coding classes. Furthermore, I believed the questions chosen are well thought out and were in fact relevant to my insists in being a coder. Together with, the ICD-10-CM coding assessment they all gave me additional practice time which in actuality I needed for my Senior Comprehensive Exam plus for the National Exam. In addition, the set up of the assessments are well laid out, there is nothing that needs to be changed…

    A patient is admitted in a hospital for chest pain and shortness of breath. The tests conducted by the physician revealed that the patient has pulmonary hypertension, which is a, “variety of high blood pressure that affects the arteries in the lungs and the right side of your heart” (Mayo Clinic, 2012). To classify this diagnosis, I suggest the use of the international classification of diseases, ninth revision, clinical modification (ICD-9-CM) coding system. I choose ICD-9-CM because it is the system used in the U.S. to classify and report diagnoses (Giannangelo, 2010). The system would work by following the ICD-9-CM convention to classify this diagnosis. The appropriate use of the conventions abbreviation can ensure an accurate classification of the diagnosis.…
