Hello, welcome to great online training.

Today we going to learn about overview

of ICD10 CM. Okay. So in this section we

going to learn about ICD10 CAM different

coding guidelines general coding

guidelines of ICD10 and this is very

very important topic regarding CPC

marks question seven questions on this

specific chapter okay different coding

guidelines And this is very easy to

score marks. Okay. And as this is a

lengy topic, I have divided into two

part one and tomorrow we'll cover part

two. And I want to request you that in

this session please refer your book

please be with your book. Okay. So let's

get started. So in this session we're

going to learn about the guidelines of

IC retain CM in which section one we're

going to cover in this session. Okay,

which is section one conventions. Okay,

in which we will see what is alphabetic

word other and unspecified course Okay.

And then include includes nodes,

exclusion nodes, exclude nodes, then

ideology, manifestation conventions,

then C see C also code also code node.

What is meaning of this course and how

to use them? Then default codes and

lastly we'll see code assignments and

clinical criteria. Okay. So without any

further ado, let's get started. So first

we'll see introduction ICD10 CM

clinical. CM means clinical

manufacturation. Okay. Sometime they

also ask you simple question. What is

ICD? Very easy to cover right. Very very

very easy to answer this question. ICD

means international classification of

disease. So you can score it right? One

mark. ICD10. CM means CM for clinical

modification. Okay. So is used as a

source of diagnosis course in USA,

United States of America. The ICD 10 CM

set is reviewed every year. Okay. The

code set for the 2024 fiscal year

applies to patient discharges and

encounters between October 1st,

2023 and September 30, 2024. Okay. So

now we are going to learn the guidelines

for this this much of reports. Okay.

This much of patients. This is these

guidelines are basically apply for

patients discharges and encounter

between October 1st 2023 to September

30th, 2024. Because after October 1st,

2024, we have to follow different

guidelines. Different guidelines means

whole guidelines are not going to change

or whole codes are not going to change

but they they revise few codes they

revise few guidelines. Okay. So uh if

you are going to attempt your

examination after or you going to start

your work as a medical coder after

October

2024. Okay. Make sure that you are aware

about updated guidelines. Okay, you just

need to learn updated version. That's

it. Few guidelines here and there

updated that you can find in uh anywhere

in Google also. Okay. So make sure that

you go through it if you are appearing

for exam after October

2024 or even though you are going for

any interview or going for any job you

have to aware about those guidelines.

Okay. So now World Health Organization

WH authorized the publication of

international classification of diseases

103 region ICD 10C. Okay. So, WH is

authorized committee who updated the

guidelines. Okay. The US develop a

clinical modification ICD10 CM for

medical diagnosis based on WH's ICD10.

CM has developed a new procedure coding

system ICD 10 PCS for inpatient

procedures. Okay. And ICD 10 CM replaces

ICD 9 CM volume 1 and two. and ICD 10

PCS replaces ICD 9 cm volume 3. So

previously this ICD 10 was ICD 9. When I

have started my journey as a medical

coder I joined in the company that time

we have to use we were using ICD9. Okay.

For a few months after that this

transition happened when ICD9 becomes

ICD converted into ICD. Okay. So

previously it has three volumes. Okay.

And when this transition happened at

that time ICD 10 cm replaces volume 1

and two whereas ICD 10 PCS replaces ICD

9 cm volume 3. Okay. You just need this

information if in case you get any

question. Okay. So who is maintaining

the ICD 10 CM WH? I have previously also

included one slide in previous sessions

where I give I have given you um

information about ICD, what is ICD 10

CAC, what what is ICD 10 PCA, what is

CPT, what is HCPC at that time also I

have given you notes what is important

and all with differentiation who is

maintaining the course and all right so

please go through that the Centers for

Medicare and Medicare Services CMS and

National Center for Health Statistics

NCHS two departments within US federal

government's department of health and

human services DHHS provide the

following guidelines for coding and

reporting using ICD10 CF. These

guidelines have been approved by the

four organizations. The American

Hospital Association, the American

Health Information Management

Association, AHI, MA, CMS and

NCHS. Okay, you have to remember this

full form of all these short forms.

Okay, AHA means American Hospital

Association, HIMS means American Health

Information Management

Association, CMS means Centers for

Medicare and Medicare Services. and NCS

means National Center for Health

Statistics. I'll show you where you can

find this description. All this

description see this is the ICD10 book.

Okay, this is how your book looks like.

Maybe front page will be different but

make sure that it is of current year

2024. Okay. So when you go

down you will find this introduction

this table of content where you can find

each and everything. You can find your

symbols and conventions are on three

ICD10 book that will be given that is

given in on page number two. Then table

of sorry index to disease and injuries

39 page. The neoplasm table 363 page.

appendix A is there for Z course for

long-term use of drugs on 1347 page

number and appendix B which is for

summary of 2024 ICD10 changes. Okay 1365

uh 61 page. So first I'll show you where

you can find the appendix A and how it

looks like. So appendix A you can find

on the page 1347. Okay. So these

includes codes for Z course for

long-term use of drugs. Okay. Uh you can

them are there and their code

description is there. Okay. So any you

can see here

G79.899 is for other long-term or

current drug therapy. Okay. And drug

name is also given. So suppose in your

question or in your patient's report it

is mentioned that particular drug is

patient is using particular drug

long-term. Okay. In that case you have

to search for your that particular drug

name here and you you have to select the

code accordingly. Okay. For long-term

current use of that particular drug and
