Stroke diagnosis code

Common Questions and Answers about Stroke diagnosis code

stroke

Tbd Her response was, most people should be on a statin because of the benefits to lessening the change of stroke or heart attack (when they are older - after middle age). The reason for the diagnosis code, my Thyroid levels go out of wack every few years and it triggers AFIB. I am doing my research, I have talked to my primary and cardiologist. Primary says it is a good thing and cardiologist said all doctors have different opinions.
1191939 tn?1264806096 I had a stroke in May of 2003 and within 6 months I started having extreme pain on the whole left side of my body. The doctors said it was from my stroke. I have tried motor cortex stimulator that only helped for three months. I also had a DBS that did not help at all. I am now told that the only thing that will help is a cingulotomy. I would like to find out more about the after effects before I do it, plus if a doctor in Wisconsin is able to help with my questions.
Avatar m tn After a mammogram and ultra sound I was told that I had a "code 4" breast nodule (2 lumps) and had a biopsy and do not know the results as yet. What is a code 4?? And what are the odds with a code 4 that this is cancer?

5509293 tn?1428531475 As far as i'm aware, the code used is generally justification for the type of tests the doctor wants you to have, and has no relevance to diagnosis as such but what your being assessed for eg heart disease = heart disease code, unspecified demyelingating disease = demyelingating disease code, MS = MS code etc lol did that make sense? Cheers.........
Avatar f tn i felt like and had symptoms of a stroke and was told that ms symptoms and stroke symptoms sometimes mirror each other when an mri showed no change from the last one i had.
Avatar m tn could i be having a stroke all this time. also my nose is stuffy 24/7 but that has been going on for years. i do go to my doctor on Monday. pls help me?
1035252 tn?1427227833 apparently since the law passed that even medical inductions before 39wks require an amnio for lung development, they had to use a special diagnosis code to order the test in order to get my insurance to cover it. right now...the OB says he's stuck without a conclusive diagnosis so there's no way to find the appropriate code. so I'm waiting for my neurologist to come up with a diagnosis code that will be appropriate so the insurance will cover the amnio ($1200 out-of-pocket!
Avatar f tn I know I'm not loosing it. To send a message to someone on a discussion, you have to copy a code. If you can't get the code correct, you don't get through. Again, I don't understand how to read or put the code down correctly. O really hope I'm making sense.

Avatar n tn Those test results should help reveal a lot. CT brain could reveal if you've had a stroke or some type of brain tumor. Sounds like your doc is ordering the right tests..
Avatar f tn Neurologists are typically not excited about treating someone for psych issues, they wanna treat stroke patients or headaches etc.
Avatar n tn sir/madam, this is regarding my uncle who recently had a brain-stem stroke. nearly after he became unconscious at home he was taken to a nearby clinic, whose doctors couldn't diagnose it and instructed for a CT scan. this was nearly 4 hrs after he became unconscious. though the report was normal and had no reference to any complication the patient remained unconscious.
Avatar f tn I am a 32 year old veteran. been going to va for other reasons, but when they did a CT scan on me, the report said "oval shaped hypodensities inferior basal ganglia possibly represents prominent virchow-robin spaces or lacunar infarcts. Lesion in left basal ganglia measures 1.07 x .60 in size. I asked the doctor about it and he said it was a TIA, but after some reading, i'm not sure it wasn't a stroke. Do TIA's not show on CT scans?
Avatar n tn clock on the right breast. What does Birad Code 4 suspicious mean and what is the difference in the code levels? Also what does spiculated mean?
Avatar m tn She really needs to talk to her doctor personally, but I did find these that may help - https://www.lupus.org/resources/covid19-vaccine-and-lupus https://www.nbcmiami.com/responds/covid-19-vaccines-recommended-for-autoimmune-patients/2407606/ That code means ICD-10-CM Code G90.0 Idiopathic peripheral autonomic neuropathy. It's a diagnosis code, and is only one part of it, probably. https://www.healthline.
Avatar f tn , and pronounce a diagnosis. This is typically used as a guide for the cardiologist to go on. The diagnosis is based on set criteria. The physician should factor in other criteria and make a judgment. In your case, it appears that you have a good EKG. Your condition at the time of the EKG is a common "anomaly", and should be considered within the boundaries of "normal".
Avatar m tn I knew my grandmother was going downhill when she started to get confused about the difference between a zip code and area code. So it has more to do with forgetting how to do and operate things that you use everyday. But I think loosing ones train of thought is not anything to worry about.
