2022 ICD-10-CM codes are to be used for patient encounters and admissions on or after Oct. 1, 2021, through Sept. 30, 2022.
This update brings 159 additions, 25 deletions, and 27 revisions. ICD-10-CM 2022 goes into effect on Oct. 1, 2021.
Chapter 2 now includes three new codes. Added are two codes to capture bilateral ovarian malignancies, allowing classification as malignant or secondary malignant neoplasm.
The 2022 code set brings five new codes to Chapter 3 Diseases of the Blood and Blood-Forming Organs and Certain Disorders Involving the Immune Mechanism (D50-D89).
The updates to Chapter 6 Diseases of the Nervous System (G00-G99) relate primarily to the 10 new codes in these areas.
Highlights:-
Is a patient responding to Medication? T-Codes to define compliance and non-compliance.
Real patient examples to reflect accurate coding for the 2021 update.
Cardiology-specific examples will be discussed.
The 2022 code set adds 14 codes to Chapter 18, signs and symptoms. Many coders have probably memorized R05 Cough, but R05 is not a reportable code in the 2022 code set. Instead, use one of the six new codes, which provide added specificity to cough. More to come.
The 2022 code set does add one code to Chapter 9: I5A Non-ischemic myocardial injury (non-traumatic) with directions on code usage.
The remainder of the 2022 updates to Chapter 9 for Cardiology involves additions and modifications to exclude 1/2 and Code first notes. We will cover them all.
