If the ostomy is complicated, its care is not routine, says Brandi Whitemyer, HCS-D, product specialist for DecisionHealth in Gaithersburg, Md.  \nInstead, assign a code from the N99.5- category (Complications of stoma of urinary tract) to capture the complication, such as infection, hemorrhage or malfunction, of the cystostomy, she says.  \n(see Ostomy complications, p. 5)  \nKeep calm and code hypertension in ICD-10   \nCoding hypertension—one of the most common and important home health diagnoses—just got easier.  \nNow, you’ll assign the same code—I10 (Essential (primary) hypertension)—regardless of whether a patient’s hypertension diagnosis is specified by the doctor as “benign,” “malignant” or simply isn’t specified at all.  \nThat’s because code I10 includes a slew of non-essential modifiers, including “essential,” “benign,” “malignant” and“idiopathic.” A non-essential modifier is a descriptive term attached  \n(see Hypertension, p. 8)  \nGet the ultimate guide to wound coding!   \nThe ICD-10-CM Wound Coding & OASIS Field Guide, 2016, is your  \non-the-go reference to choose the right codes and OASIS answers for the most common home health wounds.

With ICD- 10, you now have the ability to capture each burn by its source – whether thermal (i.e. those from a heat source) or corrosion (i.e. those caused by chemicals) .  \nMost burns are classified as injuries and as such are found in Chapter 19 (Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). The injury codes here are grouped together by the body site affected and not by type of injury.  \nVital to correctly coding a burn is knowing how badly the burn has penetrated the patient’s tissue.
