Objectives Understand the uses of coded data Recognize the importance of physiciandocumentation The use of “Z-codes” to accurately representthe clinical picture of the patient5/18/2016Jzanus Consulting, Inc.3
Uses of Coded Data Exchange meaningful health data with otherorganizations and government agencies Evaluate resource utilization Track public health threats (E.g., avian flu, Ebola) Measure quality of care Accurate reimbursement Assist with advocacy work for healthcare policymatters5/18/2016Jzanus Consulting, Inc.4
Benefits of complete coding Supports the necessity of treatments andservices. Complete coding should be performedregardless of impact on reimbursement.5/18/2016Jzanus Consulting, Inc.5
Clinical Representation of the PatientGood documentation and coding paints an accurate clinicalpicture of the patient.5/18/2016Jzanus Consulting, Inc.6
Palliative Care Care given to improve the quality of life ofpatients who have serious or life-threateningdisease. The goal is to prevent or treat as soon as possiblethe symptoms and side effects of the disease andits treatment. Addresses related issues of psychological, social,and spiritual problems. Referred to as: comfort care, supportive care,and symptom management. Can still receive active treatment.5/18/2016Jzanus Consulting, Inc.7
Palliative Care Palliative care is delivered in variety ofhealthcare settings.– Physician office– Long term care hospital– Skilled nursing facility– Home– Acute care hospital5/18/2016Jzanus Consulting, Inc.8
Palliative Care Documentation Code assignment can only be based on physiciandocumentation. Accurate documentation is needed to reflect the utilization ofresources, acuity of patient care provided and the accuracy ofresearch and quality reporting. The provider documentation in the medical record must clearlystate whether palliative care is being given. The provider documentation should indicate if the admission isfor palliative care or for treatment of an acute condition.5/18/2016Jzanus Consulting, Inc.9
Palliative Care Documentation The documentation should support why the levelof care is necessary. Providers also need to document the acute andchronic medical diagnoses under treatment. Suchas:––––5/18/2016COPDAcute on Chronic Diastolic Congestive Heart FailureAcute Hypoxic Respiratory failureAcute Renal Failure/Acute Tubular NecrosisJzanus Consulting, Inc.10
Palliative Care Documentation Physicians need to be specific whendocumenting a condition– Location– Laterality– Severity/Stage– Type– Status – current/active vs history/resolved– Causal relationships11

Factors Influencing Health Status andContact with Health Services The “Z-Codes”– V-Codes in ICD-9 Part of the classification in ICD-10– Supplemental classification in ICD-9 These codes are used to capture a status orproblem impacting the patient that is otherthan a disease or external cause. They are used in conjunction with otherdiagnosis codes.5/18/2016Jzanus Consulting, Inc.14
Factors Influencing Health Status andContact with Health ServicesZ00 – Z13 Health services for examsZ14 – Z15 Genetic carrier and geneticsusceptibility to diseaseZ16 Resistance to antimicrobial drugsZ17 Estrogen receptor statusZ18 Retained foreign body fragmentsZ20 – Z28 Potential health hazards related tocommunicable diseases5/18/2016Jzanus Consulting, Inc.15
Factors Influencing Health Status andContact with Health ServicesZ30 – Z39 Health services in circumstancesrelated to reproductionZ40 – Z53 Encounters for other specificaftercareZ55 – Z65 Potential health hazards related tosocioeconomic and psychosocial circumstancesZ66 Do not resuscitate5/18/2016Jzanus Consulting, Inc.16
Factors Influencing Health Status andContact with Health ServicesZ67 Blood typeZ68 Body mass indexZ69 – Z76 Health services in othercircumstancesZ77 – Z99 Potential health hazards related tofamily and personal history and certainconditions influencing health status5/18/2016Jzanus Consulting, Inc.17
Factors Influencing Health Status andContact with Health Services Z codes are for use in any healthcare setting. May be used as either a first-listed (principaldiagnosis code in the inpatient setting) orsecondary code, depending on thecircumstances of the encounter andguidelines/instructions for specific codes. Certain Z codes may only be used as first-listedor principal diagnosis and some may never beassigned as the principal.5/18/2016Jzanus Consulting, Inc.18
Factors Influencing Health Status andContact with Health ServicesThe ICD-10-CM code book describes the two main reasons forthese use of this code set“When a person who may or may not be sick encounters thehealth services for some specific purpose, such as to receivelimited care or service for a current condition, to donate anorgan or tissue, to receive prophylactic vaccination(immunization), or to discuss a problem which is in itself not adisease or injury.”OR“When some circumstance or problem is present whichinfluences the person's health status but is not in itself a currentillness or injury.”5/18/2016Jzanus Consulting, Inc.19
Factors Influencing Health Status andContact with Health Services These codes provide additional information about the– Status of a condition/disease process Do not use if there is an assigned diagnosis code thatincludes the status For example, code Z94.1, Heart transplant status,should not be used with a code from subcategoryT86.2, Complications of heart transplant.– Socio-economic issues– Reason for readmission– Other issues that can impact patient treatment andoutcomes5/18/2016Jzanus Consulting, Inc.20
Factors Influencing Health Status andContact with Health Services Reliant on the physician’s documentation Supported by ancillary documentation In some cases these codes can impact reimbursement5/18/2016Jzanus Consulting, Inc.21
Factors Influencing Health Status andContact with Health ServicesThese codes must meet the criteria as aPrincipalORSecondary/additional diagnosisin order to be coded5/18/2016Jzanus Consulting, Inc.22
Secondary Diagnosis CriteriaAcute Care/Long Term Care/HomeHealth/Rehab/SNFClinical evaluation; orTherapeutic treatment; orDiagnostic procedures; orExtended length of stay; orIncreased nursing careand/or monitoring5/18/2016Jzanus Consulting, Inc.OutpatientReason for servicesChronic conditionsCo-existing conditions23
Encounters for Other SpecificHealthcareZ40-Z535/18/2016Jzanus Consulting, Inc.24
Palliative CareZ51.5 (ICD-10) – encounter for palliative care– Instruction for category Z51 state to code alsocondition requiring careCompare toV66.7 (ICD-9) – encounter for palliative care– Instruction for code V66.7 state to code firstunderlying disease5/18/2016Jzanus Consulting, Inc.25
Palliative Care Gives the impression that Z51.5 should be theprincipal diagnosis. Medicare Code Editor V33 effective October 1,2015 states otherwise.– Code Z51.5 is an unacceptable principal diagnosisfor inpatient admission5/18/2016Jzanus Consulting, Inc.26
Palliative Care Possible sequencing guidance– The American Hospital Association publishes CodingClinic for ICD-10-CM– The AHA has decision making in it’s pipeline regardingthe sequencing of code Z51.5– No official decision at this time Consideration is to allow code Z51.5 as the principaldiagnosis depending on the reason for admission– Documentation will be even more important. May have claim submission implications Keep your eyes open for this guidance May need to work with payers5/18/2016Jzanus Consulting, Inc.27
Attention to Artificial Openings Use category Z43 when routine care,adjustment, or fitting is performed on anartificial opening. This is more than status– Status merely indicates that an artificial opening ispresent.– It is important that documentation indicate if careis directed towards the opening or if it is selfmaintained.5/18/2016Jzanus Consulting, Inc.28
Attention to Artificial Openings Z43.0 - Encounter for attention to tracheostomyZ43.1 - Encounter for attention to gastrostomyZ43.2 - Encounter for attention to ileostomyZ43.3 - for attention to colostomyZ43.4 - Encounter for attention to other artificial openingsof digestive tractZ43.5 - Encounter for attention to cystostomyZ43.6 - Encounter for attention to other artificial openingsof urinary tractZ43.7 - Encounter for attention to artificial vaginaZ43.8 - Encounter for attention to other artificial openingsZ43.9 - Encounter for attention to unspecified artificialopening5/18/2016Jzanus Consulting, Inc.29
