memory loss icd 9 code

Hi Tink, I am actually a medical coder for a hospital -the ICD-10 code would be G93.5. The ICD-9 code is 384.4. Since ICD-9 is not very specific they may have put a I after to show it is a Chiari Malformation type 1. In ICD-10 it is more specific - G93.5 states Chiari Malformation 1. So I am assuming since the ICD-9 code of 384.4 just states compression of brain they had to add a 1 so it was more specific for their notes.

070.51 is the ICD-9-CM code for Acute hepatitis C without mention of hepatic coma. B17.10 – Acute hepatitis C without hepatic coma is the ICD-10 code. In the overall scheme of things ultimately the only person who really cares about those codes is the one processing your health insurance claim. The code might have been on your receipt from the doctor's office or your EOB (Explanation of Benefits).

t talked to him yet as he is not in his office currently but this has me worried. Did he make a mistake and use the wrong ICD code or could this code also apply to the condition that I was diagnosed with. Thank you.

My mom always warned me about this, especially when it comes to life or health insurance. She insisted that if I go to a doc for anything, if they do not formally diagnose an issue don't let it get on your file. I never knew why until I had a run in because of it. I went to a doc 4 or 5 years ago for a peristant cough. He asked me to try advair based solely on my complaint of a persistant cough. he listened to my lungs, no issues.

I did have lots of neurological testing also, as I lost my memory for a few days, and what brought me in was a loss of consciesioiusness, ( sp) and I woke up shaking all over, most likely God restarting my heart, and it fibrulating!( that is my guess) thanks for any and all questions.

426.9 conduction disorder, unspecified what does that mean? dangerous?

428.22 is the ICD diagnosis code for your condition. It simply means that the pumping action of your heart is reduced or impared. Did you get any feedback from your doctor concerning your Ejection fraction (EF%) ? Was this diagnosed on a stress test and if so what were the other findings. Let us know so we can better help you.

Not sure if they're the same, but the doc has to put down an ICD-9 code on their "super bill" to get reimbursed by insurance. I'm not saying he'd make something up but will get as close as he can on the ICD-9 code. Don't read too much into it. Ask your doctor to clarify, don't be afraid to ask these questions.

Is there an ICD-9 code for "cervical demyelinating myelopathy"?

This might be a right bundle branch conduction delay, ie a conduction disorder of some unspecified type (check the ICD code), although whether that would be a real worry is also unspecified. 2. The note says that there is a normal echo. This is not the same thing as an ecg. So it does not follow that the ecg is normal because the echo is normal. 3. The note is not validated by the input of a physician, nor subsequently by your individual assessment of the physician and his diagnosis.

My mother has an ICD and it has gone off a total of 27 times in the last few days. She's only 62. There is not a problem with the device, she just keeps going into Vtach, but she can't be sustained in a normal rhythm. If a normal rhythm doesn't come back, is it just cruel to keep the device firing. Even in a full code patient would you shock them externally this many times without a sustained change in heart rhythm? I just don't want to make her suffer for nothing.

Well I now know what the memory loss is from....I'm so stoooopid. I'm 9 days off of vicodin, thought all was amazing, but stupid me had 7 ativan and decided to take one or two on wed thurs and fri..I've been taking ativan on an as needed basis since my miscarriage on july 4th...I can honestly say I've never taken more than three a day and it's not something I love or crave ever. This miscarriage threw me for a loop and the anxiety was for real.

Very frustrating, isn't it! All I can tell you is that this problem comes and goes. Sometimes my memory's great. I've had a run for more than a month of REMEMBERING phone numbers! Wow - for a year and a half, I couldn't remember strings of numbers longer than four. Now I'm remembering whole numbers - area code and all. Not that this lasts long - it helps if it's a number I'm calling all the time.

I am going to do a preliminary exploration of the changing incidence of hepatitis B, and C and liver cirrhosis across several years of data in US. I wonder if you agree with me that ICD-9 codes 070.2 , 0703, 07042,07052 for Hep B and 070.41, 070.44,07051,070 54 for hepatitis C are the only ones that purely specify these infections. At this stage, the estimations are not going to be done. Also, I need to say that I have yet to see the literature on this.

Has any body had memory loss during pregnancy i cant remember nuthing like i went to the store an could not remember my code on my bank card an ive been having this card for over a year smh or if i need something the following day ill for get i need it that day... am i the only one??

One nice feature of HEPTIMAX is that it doesn't require a lot of numbers to order... just have the doctor/nurse write the name HEPTIMAX, along with diagnostic ICD-9 code for hepatitis c on the lab order; shouldn't be confusion with this at all.
