Effective Date

ICD-10 goes into effect October 1, 2015.

ICD-10-CM for diagnosis codes and ICD-10-PCS for procedure codes go into effect together on the same date.

ICD-10 is effective by date of discharge, not by date of admission.

Use of ICD-10 in the United States was formally proposed in August 2008 and finalized in January 2009.

Implementation of ICD-10 was initially scheduled for October 2013 and has been postponed twice since then.

Hospitals, physicians and all other providers must use ICD-10 diagnosis codes.

Hospitals must also use ICD-10-PCS procedure codes for inpatient cases.

Implementation of ICD-10 does not affect use of CPT®.

General Equivalence MappingsGeneral Equivalence Mappings (GEMs) are a useful tool for going back-and-forth between ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes, for both diagnoses and procedures.

Forward GEMs go from ICD-9 to ICD-10; Backward GEMs go from ICD-10 to ICD-9.

The GEMs can be found at: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/icd/icd10cm.htm#icd2105

The GEMs can be a good starting place. But NCHS and CMS strongly recommend coding directly from the ICD-10 codebooks, as studies have consistently indicated that this is most accurate.

Codes are alpha-numeric and can be 3 to 7 digits long.

428.40 Unspecified combined systolic and diastolic heart failure I50.40 Unspecified combined systolic (congestive) and diastolic

(congestive) heart failure

428.43 Acute on chronic combined systolic and diastolic heart failure I50.43 Acute on chronic combined systolic (congestive) and

diastolic (congestive) heart failure428.9 Unspecified heart failure I50.9 Heart failure, unspecified

Heart failure works the same way in ICD-10-CM as it does in ICD-9-CM.

“Congestive” heart failure does not have its own code.A code from I50 is assigned separately to identify the type of heart failure with hypertensive heart disease with heart failure.

Acute Myocardial Infarction

AMI: ICD-9-CM

AMI: ICD-10-CM

Episode of care is not identified per se. AMI is differentiated between initial AMI (I21) and subsequent AMI (I22) The AMI site identifies the specific coronary artery involved (“culprit lesion”).

ICD-10-CM handles acute myocardial infarction differently from ICD-9-CM.

Initial AMI codes I21 continue to be assigned to encounters for continued care, including transfer to another hospital or post-acute setting, while the AMI is within 28 days of onset.1

If the AMI is documented as NSTEMI (subendocardial, non-transmural) and a site is provided, it is still coded as NSTEMI.2

Subsequent AMI (I22)

A subsequent AMI is a new AMI that occurs within 28 days of a previous AMI, regardless of site.3

Codes from I22 cannot be assigned alone. They must always be assigned with a code from I21. Sequencing of the codes depends on the circumstances of the encounter.3

427.2 Paroxysmal tachycardia, unspecified I47.9 Paroxysmal tachycardia, unspecified 785.0 Tachycardia, unspecified R00.0 Tachycardia, unspecified

“Paroxysmal” does not need to be documented for SVT and VT.

But tachycardia that’s unspecified is assigned to symptom code R00.0.

BradycardiaICD-9-CM ICD-10-CM

427.81 Sinoatrial node dysfunction (SSS) I49.5 Sick sinus syndrome (tachy-brady syndrome)— R00.1 Bradycardia, unspecified

Bradycardia that’s unspecified or documented only as “sinoatrial” or “sinus” bradycardia is assigned to symptom code R00.1.

Device Complications

For other (non-mechanical) complications, ICD-10-CM also differentiates the type of complication but not the type of device.

Proposals have already been made to ICD-10 C&M Committee to create new codes to provide more detail on the specific device.

Mechanical complication is defined the same way in ICD-10-CM as it is in ICD-9-CM.

For mechanical complication, ICD-10-CM differentiates the type of complication and the component but not the device.

There is no decimal point. There are virtually no unspecified or default codes.

In ICD-10-PCS, codes are not assigned per se. They are constructed, character by character, from code tables.

ICD-10-PCS contains no instructional notes. Standardized terms and definitions are used throughout.

Root Operations for Devices Six root operations always involve implanted devices where the

sole objective is do something with the device. Three of the six root operations are relevant for cardiac rhythm

and heart failure devices.

There are two scenarios for replacing a device:5

Conventional pacemakers are placed for bradycardia and heart block.

Conventional defibrillators are placed for ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation, or for primary prevention indications such as cardiomyopathy.

Typical Indications

CRT-P (biventricular pacemakers) are placed for heart failure, with or without bradycardia or heart block.

CRT-D (biventricular defibrillators) are placed for heart failure with either ventricular tachycardia or primary prevention indications.

Antimicrobial EnvelopeAntimicrobial envelopes are coated with antibiotics. They hold PPM, ICD, CRT-P or CRT-P generators and are implanted with the generator. The intent is to reduce infection and also stabilize the devices.

There’s a separate code for placement of an antimicrobial envelope; it is assigned in addition to the generator insertion code.

Ablation for Arrhythmia Transvenous ablation is performed to disrupt aberrant electrical conduction pathways within the heart and restore normal rhythm.

because the target is always the aberrant conduction pathway.11

Diagnostic Electrophysiologic StudiesIn a diagnostic EP study, catheters are threaded through the vena cava and into the heart, usually at the high right atrium, bundle of HIS, and right ventricle.

For diagnosis, the catheters are used to perform pacing and recording as well as induction of arrhythmia. The patients may go on to receive an therapeutic ablation.

There’s just one code for a diagnostic EP study12

Electrophysiologic MappingMapping is often performed together with diagnostic EP studies and also with therapeutic ablations.

02K83ZZ Map conduction mechanism, percutaneous approach

Special mapping catheters within the heart precisely identify the arrhythmia origin or path, and create 3D maps to guide the physician.

This is a separate step and is coded separately from the EP study or ablation.

Device Evaluation: Interrogation Pacemakers and defibrillators, both conventional and biventricular, need to be checked periodically. This can be done by interrogation or by non-invasive programmed stimulation (NIPS).

Both evaluations are non-invasive. The difference is that for an interrogation, an arrhythmia is not induced but for NIPs, it is.

Example of Interrogation13

4B02XSZ Measurement of cardiac pacemaker, external approach4B02XTZ Measurement of cardiac defibrillator, external approach

The approach is X-External by its nature.

Device Evaluation: NIPS

Coding Guidelines

4A02X4Z Measurement of cardiac electrical activity, external approach

Do not code NIPS for device testing at the time of defibrillator implantation. This is considered integral and is not coded at all.14

14. AHA ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS Coding Handbook 2015, p.415

NIPS tests the device to ensure it can deliver the appropriate shock as needed. This requires inducing a potentially lethal arrhythmia.

Do not code a diagnosis of ventricular fibrillation when NIPS is performed. Inducing this arrhythmia is the point.14

The approach is X-External by its nature. Example of NIPS

CardioversionCardioversion applies electrical shock to convert an arrhythmia to normal rhythm.

This code is used only for external cardioversion.

Coding Guidelines15

The code is still assigned regardless of whether cardioversion was successful in converting the rhythm.

There’s just one code for external cardioversion.Example of Cardioversion

ICD-10 DRG ConversionThe conversion of the DRG Grouper is about coding, not about grouping.

The same DRG will be assigned regardless of whether the case is coded in ICD-9 or ICD-10.

CMS has repeatedly stated its goal in the DRG conversion:

The conversion process has involved only replacing the ICD-9-CM codes with the equivalent ICD-10 codes.

DRG titles and underlying DRG logic has not changed, but some minor DRG variations are unavoidable. In a study of 10 million FY 2013 MedPAR records, CMS found a

DRG shift of 1.07%, with reimbursement change of -0.04%15
