For social determinants of health…..

Patient self-reported documentation may also be used to

assign codes for social determinants of health, as long as

the patient self-reported information is signed-off by and

incorporated into the health record by either a clinician or provider.

1.C.1.g Coronavirus infections

Revision and additions from 04.01.2020

1.C.1.g.1.a. Code only a confirmed diagnosis of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) as documented by the provider, or documentation of a positive COVID-19 test result, or a presumptive positive COVID-19 test result. For a confirmed diagnosis, assign code U07.1, COVID-19. This is an exception to the hospital inpatient guideline Section II, H. In this context, “confirmation” does not require documentation of the type of test performed; the provider’s documentation that the individual has COVID-19 is sufficient.

Chapter 1 Guidelines COVID-19

1.C.1.g.1.a. continued

Presumptive positive COVID-19 test results should be coded as confirmed. A presumptive positive test result means an individual has tested positive for the virus at a local or state level, but it has not yet been confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). CDC confirmation of local and state tests for COVID-19 is no longer required.

If the provider documents "suspected," "possible," "probable," or “inconclusive” COVID-19, do not assign code U07.1. Assign a code(s) explaining the reason for encounter (such as fever) or Z20.828, Contact with and (suspected) exposure to other viral communicable diseases. Instead, code the signs and symptoms reported. See guideline I.C.1.g.1.g.

1.C.1.g.1.b. Sequencing of codes

When COVID-19 meets the definition of principal diagnosis, code U07.1, COVID-19, should be sequenced first, followed by the appropriate codes for associated manifestations, except in the case of obstetrics patients as indicated in Section . I.C.15.s. for COVID-19 in pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium. except when another guideline requires that certain codes be sequenced first, such as obstetrics, sepsis, or transplant complications.

See Section I.C.16.h. for COVID-19 infection in newborn

For a COVID-19 infection in a lung transplant patient, see Section I.C.19.g.3.a. Transplant complications other than kidney.

1.C.1.g.1.c Acute respiratory illness due to manifestations of

COVID-19

When the reason for the encounter/admission is a respiratory manifestation of COVID-

19, assign code U07.1, COVID-19, as the principal/first-listed diagnosis and assign

code(s) for the respiratory manifestation(s) as additional diagnoses.

The following conditions are examples of common respiratory manifestations of

COVID-19.

(i) Pneumonia

For a patient with pneumonia case confirmed as due to the 2019 novel coronavirus

(COVID-19), assign codes U07.1, COVID-19, and J12.89, Other viral pneumonia.

(v) Acute respiratory failure

For acute respiratory failure due to COVID-19, assign code U07.1, and code J96.0-,

Acute respiratory failure.

manifestation (e.g., viral enteritis) of COVID-19, assign code U07.1, COVID-19,

as the principal/first-listed diagnosis and assign code(s) for the

manifestation(s) as additional diagnoses.

1.C.1.g.1.e. Exposure to COVID-19

For cases where there is a concern about a possible exposure to COVID-19, but this is ruled out after evaluation, assign code Z03.818, Encounter for observation for suspected exposure to other biological agents ruled out.

For asymptomatic individuals with actual or suspected exposure to COVID-19, assign code Z20.828, Contact with and (suspected) exposure to other viral communicable diseases.

For cases where there is an symptomatic individuals with actual or suspected exposure to someone who is confirmed or suspected (not ruled out) to have to COVID-19, and the exposed individual either tests negative or the test results are unknown, and the infection has been ruled out, or test results are inconclusive or unknown, assign code Z20.828, Contact with and (suspected) exposure to other viral communicable diseases. If the exposed individual tests positive for the COVID-19 virus, see guideline a). See guideline I.C.21.c.1, Contact/Exposure, for additional guidance regarding the use of category Z20 codes.

If COVID-19 is confirmed, see guideline I.C.1.g.1.a. 07/15/2020

1.C.1.g.1.f. Screening for COVID-19

For asymptomatic individuals who are being screened for COVID-19 and

have no known exposure to the virus, and the test results are either

unknown or negative, assign code Z11.59, Encounter for screening for

other viral diseases. For individuals who are being screened due to a

possible or actual exposure to COVID-19, see guideline d).

If an asymptomatic individual is screened for COVID-19 and tests positive,

see guideline g).

During the COVID-19 pandemic, a screening code is generally not

appropriate. For encounters for COVID-19 testing, including preoperative

testing, code as exposure to COVID-19 (guideline I.C.1.g.1.e).

Coding guidance will be updated as new information concerning any changes in the pandemic status becomes available.

1.C.1.g.1.g. Signs and symptoms without definitive diagnosis of COVID-19

If a patient with signs/symptoms associated with COVID-19 also has an actual or suspected contact with or exposure to someone who has COVID-19, assign Z20.828, Contact with and (suspected) exposure to other viral communicable diseases, as an additional code. This is an exception to guideline I.C.21.c.1, Contact/Exposure.

2.C.1.g.1.h. Asymptomatic individuals who test positive for COVID-19

For asymptomatic individuals who test positive for COVID-19, assign code U07.1, COVID-19 see guideline 1.C.1.g.1.a. Although the individual is asymptomatic, the individual has tested positive and is considered to have the COVID-19 infection.

For individuals who previously had COVID-19 and are being seen for follow-up evaluation, and COVID-19 test results are negative, assign codes Z09, Encounter for follow-up examination after completed treatment for conditions other than malignant neoplasm, and Z86.19, Personal history of other infectious and parasitic diseases.

Follow the applicable guidelines above if the individual is being tested to confirm a current COVID-19 infection.

For patients presenting with condition(s) related to vaping, assign code

U07.0, Vaping-related disorder, as the principal diagnosis. For lung

injury due to vaping, assign only code U07.0. Assign additional codes

for other manifestations, such as acute respiratory failure (subcategory J96.0-) or pneumonitis (code J68.0).

Associated respiratory signs and symptoms due to vaping, such as

cough, shortness of breath, etc., are not coded separately, when a

definitive diagnosis has been established. However, it would be

appropriate to code separately any gastrointestinal symptoms, such as

diarrhea and abdominal pain.

1.C.21.c.1. Contact/Exposure

Category Z20 indicates contact with, and suspected

exposure to, communicable diseases. These codes are for

patients who do not show any sign or symptom of a

disease but are suspected to have been exposed to it by

close personal contact with an infected individual or are in

an area where a disease is epidemic.


121


1.C.21.c.3. Status

Z79 Codes from this category indicate a patient’s continuous use of a prescribed drug (including such things as aspirin therapy) for the long-term treatment of a condition or for prophylactic use. It is not for use for patients who have addictions to drugs. This subcategory is not for use of medications for detoxification or maintenance programs to prevent withdrawal symptoms in patients with drug dependence (e.g., methadone maintenance for opiate dependence). Assign the appropriate code for the drug dependence instead.

I.C.21.c.6 Observation

The observation codes are primarily to be used as principal/first-listed diagnosis only. An observation code may be assigned as a secondary diagnosis code when the patient Is being observed for a condition that is ruled out and is unrelated to the principal/first-listed diagnosis (e.g., patient presents for treatment following injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident and is also observed for suspected COVID-19 infection that is subsequently ruled out). The only exception to this is Also when the principal diagnosis is required to be a code from category Z38, Liveborn infants according to place of birth and type of delivery, then Then a code from category Z05, Encounter for observation and evaluation of newborn for suspected diseases and conditions ruled out, is sequenced after the Z38 code. Additional codes may be used in addition to the observation code, but only if they are unrelated to the suspected condition being observed.
