Understanding ICD-10 Codes for Hypertension: A Comprehensive Guide
Properly coding hypertension diagnoses is essential for accurate medical billing. This guide explains CD-10 codes for hypertension in a comprehensive and easy-to-understand way.
ICD-10
ICD-10 Codes for Excessive, Frequent and Irregular Menstruation or Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a broad term that describes irregularities in the menstrual cycle involving frequency, regularity, duration, and volume of flow outside of pregnancy.
ICD-10 Codes for Acute Myocardial Infarction Complications
Rupture of the left ventricular free wall, rupture of the interventricular septum, and acute mitral regurgitation due to papillary muscle necrosis are three potentially lethal mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction (MI).
ICD-10 Codes for Palpitation | Cardiac Arrhythmias | Abnormalities of Heart Rhythm | Rapid heart beat
Palpitations are defined as rapid pulsations or abnormally rapid or irregular beating of the heart. They are often described as the perception of a skipped beat, rapid fluttering in the chest, pounding sensation in the chest or neck, or a flip-flopping in the chest.
ICD-10 Codes for Radiculopathy | Myelopathy | Cervical Spine Disorders
Cervical disease or neck pain has a prevalence of 10 to 20 percent in the adult population, which is similar to that of low back pain. However, unlike low back pain, lost time from work related to neck pain is infrequent.
ICD-10 Codes for Chest Pain
Chest pain is a common complaint and encompasses a broad differential diagnosis that includes several life-threatening causes. A workup must focus on ruling out serious pathology before a clinician considers more benign causes.
ICD-10 Codes for Diabetes Mellitus
The term diabetes mellitus describes diseases of abnormal carbohydrate metabolism that are characterized by hyperglycemia. It is associated with a relative or absolute impairment in insulin secretion, along with varying degrees of peripheral resistance to the action of insulin.
ICD-10 Codes for ear pain | Earache
Ear pain (or otalgia) ranks as one of the leading complaints among children and adult evaluated in the primary care or emergency setting. Most patients will have one of three common diagnoses (acute otitis media [AOM], otitis externa, or otitis media with effusion [OME]), which are generally not serious.
ICD-10 Codes for Bypass graft and transplant heart related angina
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a major surgical operation where atheromatous blockages in a patient’s coronary arteries are bypassed with harvested venous or arterial conduits. The bypass restores blood flow to the ischemic myocardium which, in turn, restores function, viability, and relieves anginal symptoms
ICD-10 Codes for Allergic rhinitis (AR) or allergic inflammation of the nasal airways
Allergic rhinitis (AR) or allergic inflammation of the nasal airways is an atopic disease presenting with symptoms of sneezing, nasal congestion, clear rhinorrhea, and nasal pruritis. It is an IgE-mediated immune response that is against inhaled antigens in the immediate phase, with a subsequent leukotriene-mediated late phase.
