Podiatry Specialty ICD-10-CM Coding Tip Sheet Overview of Key Chapter Updates for Podiatry and Top 20 codes Chapter 1 Certain Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Terminology changes: The term sepsis (ICD-10-CM) has replaced the term septicemia (ICD-9-CM). Urosepsis is a nonspecific term and is not coded in ICD-10-CM. Should a provider use this term, he or she must be queried for clarification. Infections resistant to antibiotics require the use of an additional code for any associated drug resistance only if the infection code does not identify drug resistance (Z16 category, resistance to antimicrobial drugs if the infection code does not identify drug resistance). Expansion of the codes to reflect manifestations of the disease. Chapter 12 Diseases of the Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Code expansions: Updates to medical terminology. Anemia is the most common condition included in this chapter. The use of specific terminology is important in applying codes for this condition. Procedural complications affecting the spleen are included in Chapter 3 of ICD-10-CM. Chapter 13 Diseases of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Most of the codes within this chapter have site and laterality designations. ICD-10-CM identifies three different causes for pathological fractures: neoplastic disease, osteoporosis and other specified disease. ICD-10-CM introduces the seventh character that describes type of encounter, or the state of a fracture s healing and any sequela. Some codes in this chapter will have the seventh character applied.
