2019年12月18日 · How do your facilities handle "HIV" documentation? What about the coding clinic that says if once coded as B20 the patients condition should always be coded to B20? Are you querying with each admission or checking prior accounts to see if ever coded to B20? We have a few patients that we know have been diagnosed with HIV ds/AIDS but are on …

2019年4月26日 · So, when the documentation indicates HIV with sepsis, since with is considered a linking term (CC 4th qtr 2017 pg 101), and sepsis is in the CMS list of related conditions, are you coding to the B20 or querying to verify that the sepsis is related to the HIV and not due to a community acquired infection?

2017年8月7日 · (ICD-10 code B20). CHSC Code Section 121022(a) requires health care providers and clinical laboratories to report HIV infection by patient name to the local public health officer. I believe that any definitive answer to your question must come from a California attorney familiar with the State's statues and regulations applicable to reporting ...

2011年7月21日 · I am not a coder, but it appears to me that you have an HIV-positive patient without evidence of AIDS. "HIV disease" in the absence of previous or current documentation of AIDS or symptomatic disease is not specific enough to warrant the 042 code, but only V08.

2016年8月30日 · I think the AIDS would be the PDx. If you sequence sepsis first, it remains in the AIDS DRG. Also, seems correct as PDx given that the sepsis is likely due to the AIDS related illness (and the patient may not have even become septic if did not have AIDS).

2018年3月23日 · Interesting question- I will start with question 3- should B45.1 be the principal? That is an easy one- this is considered an HIV related illness so the B20 is sequenced first. The difficult part of your question is how is the differentiation of what is considered a major related illness and what is considered other related illness determined?

2018年4月27日 · In addition, it looks like B20 Human Immunodeficiency virus [HIV] is proposed to change from a MCC to a CC. And, it looks like G93.40 Encephalopathy, unspecified will remain a MCC. Seems that encephalopathy unspecified, was requested to be downgraded to a CC, but was decided that the diagnosis of encephalopathy unspecified, still required the ...

2017年12月5日 · If it is documented as such patient has AIDS (B20) · STATUS - asymptomatic human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] infection status (Z21) CDC list for AIDS-defining illnesses

2017年3月10日 · If any of the above applies, we apply code B20 to reflect AIDS. Once diagnosed with AIDS, we want to continue to reflect the highest level of severity of illness in the current admission. If unclear regarding the CDC-defined condition, I would certainly query for the link.
