Our office is in the process of updating our computer system to contain the ICD
10 codes which will be necessary to use as of 10/1/15. As I am trying to
accurately convert the ICD9 codes to ICD10 codes, I am uncertain if I am truly
picking the correct code to be used.
Can anyone give me some input on the best ways you have found to accurately
determine the correct ICD10 code to crossover to as well as how specific you are
going as far as the code which indicates side....such as Z89.519 is acquired
absence of unspecified leg below knee, Z89.511 is Acquired absence of right leg
below knee and Z89.512 is Acquired absence of left leg below knee.
Also as far as initial encounter, subsequent encounter, or sequela....these are
confusing to me as well. As a prosthetic and orthotic provider, which would we
fall under?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
