We have received a denial for code I50.21 [Acute systolic (congestive) heart failure]. The only physician documentation that I can find in this record states, "New onset mild systolic congestive heart failure; left bundle branch block, mild left ventricular global hypokinesis." Also, I do not see the term "new onset" listed in the ICD-10-CM ...
Should this general definition of decompensated be applied when assigning ICD-10-CM codes as well? For example, what is the appropriate ICD-10-CM code assignment for a diagnosis of chronic systolic heart failure, currently decompensated? Answer: Assign code I50.23, Acute on chronic systolic heart failure, for decompensated systolic heart failure.
The advice we are getting is that if pt is admitted with cardiomyopathy and there is acute CHF, you will always need to sequence the Acute CHF as principal (unless the cardiomyopathy is newly diagnosed this admit).

esrd/chf/fluid overload. kimch73@yahoo.com. January 2020 in Clinical & Coding. We are having a discussion with coding on how to code when patient's are admitted in fluid overload due to noncompliance with dialysis. Physicians have documented CHF exacerbation due to noncompliance with dialysis and fluid overload due to noncompliance.
However, under ICD-10-CM heart failure codes the term “decompensated” as synonymous with “acute-on-chronic.” Furthermore, while most clinicians also consider the term “exacerbated” to be synonymous with “acute-on-chronic” as well, Coding Clinic neglected to address this terminology leading to concerns related to denials." Thanks,
followed by the ESRD and the CHF. Pulmonary edema is integral to the CHF, unless explicitly stated as not associated with any CHF, and then should be stated as Non-Cardiogenic Acute Pulmonary Edema. Coding classification assumes hypertension as cause of hypertensive CHF and ESRD. If you wish to do so, you would query for acuity and type of CHF ...
jlprinz@att.net. April 2018. Thank you for the insight and feedback . When I think of the "Thrust of Care" for each -- CHF will more often then not end up as the more intensely treated of the 2 diagnosis. Afib may require a drip to control the rate while CHF may require CXR , med management with IV lasix / pulmonary assessment. ect.
Acute pulmonary edema of cardiac origin is a manifestation of heart failure, category 428.0-428.1, and, as such, is included in the following code assignments: · Left ventricular failure, 428.1. · Congestive heart failure, 428.0. · Right heart failure secondary to left heart failure, 428.0.
With the new ICD-10-CM codes, we finally have codes to identify type 2 MI and make the important distinction between it and type 1 MI. In the past, type 2 MI was coded as NSTEMI, creating many practical problems, especially since these two types of MI have completely different causes, implications for management, implications for quality ...
When there are two or more interrelated conditions (such as diseases in the same ICD-10-CM chapter or manifestations characteristically associated with a certain disease) potentially meeting the definition of principal diagnosis, either condition may be sequenced first, unless the circumstances of the admission, the therapy provided, the ...
