Ongoing changes to diagnostic and billing codes require the clinician to stay abreast of coding updates. Payment for health care services, data sets for health services research, and reporting for medical quality improvement all require accurate administrative coding. This article provides an overview of coding principles for patients with strokes and other cerebrovascular diseases and includes an illustrative case as a review of coding principles in a patient with acute stroke.

INTRODUCTION It is important to code accurately in the care of people with strokes and other cerebrovascular diseases not only to ensure the financial health of the practice but also to provide better patient care. The International Cl...

If you suspect a stroke, call 911 or rush to your nearest emergency room. The sooner a stroke can be diagnosed and treated, the better the outcome. Dizziness Dizziness is a very common feeling than can be associated with a host of different medical conditions, making it a vague symptom. The dizziness associated with a stomach virus can be the same level of dizziness one might feel as the result of a stroke. Because of this, it is important to seek medical attention if you experience sudden or persistent dizziness. • American Stroke Association. • Dekeyzer S, Vanden Bossche S, Keereman V, Hemelsoet D, Van Driessche V.

Tips to improve and streamline your stroke diagnosis coding processes. There are a lot of variables at play when it comes to stroke diagnosis coding in a clinical office setting. That set of variables gets multiplied even further for those coding stroke diagnoses from radiological dictation reports. That’s because there’s a seemingly endless array of factors to consider if you want to get the coding mechanics down pat. Whether it’s understanding the lingo, discerning between old versus new cerebral infarctions, or using each component of the report to make sure you’ve got the most detailed diagnosis possible, you’ve got to be on high alert if you want to get the job done right. Rely on this set of helpful tools, tips, and tricks of the trade to ensure you’re coding radiological stroke-related diagnoses accurately and compliantly. Consider This Loose Timetable Your first point of order is to compare the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) timetable for acute and chronic diseases with acute and chronic stroke timetables. As defined by the NCHS, a disease is to be considered chronic if its symptoms last more than three months. Formulating the series of steps from which a hyperacute stroke becomes chronic is not as straightforward — in part because no universal set of guidelines exists to help elaborate on those distinctions. That doesn’t mean you’re left to figure it out on your own, though. When you have a generalized timetable to fall back on, subtle fluctuati...

In general, categories in this chapter include the less well-defined conditions and symptoms that, without the necessary study of the case to establish a final diagnosis, point perhaps equally to two or more diseases or to two or more systems of the body. Practically all categories in the chapter could be designated 'not otherwise specified', 'unknown etiology' or 'transient'. The Alphabet...
