N63 BREAST MASS ICD10 CODES – How to request “OTHER SPECIFIED” be added for Oct 2018

Hello,

Does anyone know how to make a request for additional digits to be added to ICD-10 codes?

I had hoped the N63 code group would have an addition this fall to include an additional digit of 8 like what we see on the breast cancer codes to allow for coding overlapping quadrant areas, ie. 12,3,6 or 9 o’clock locations. Breast cancer codes allow for use of C50.8– for overlapping sites, however this is not available with the breast mass codes & we do receive denials for use of the unspecified quadrant codes. At this point it does not look like the N63 section codes will change Oct 2018.

problem found on exam added to the chief complaints

A patient comes in a Problem A (the "chief complaint"), but during the exam the provider also found problem B. Can problem B be added as a secondary chief complaint?

(The reason we want to do this is that our software only gives us an HPI checklist for chief complaints. If a problem is not a "chief complaint," the provider has to free-text the HPI; also the software will not count this HPI toward the E/M level.)

One Simple Way a Radiology Group Added Value to Their Hospital Relationship

If you follow the leading voices in the radiology community, you know that the topic of “value” is a recurring theme of current conversations. It is a core concept behind Imaging 3.0 and has dominated recent seminars, webinars, social media chatter and more for months thanks to MACRA and the many changes it is bringing to provider compensation models. And whatever changes the next wave of governmental healthcare policy washes into the boardrooms of group practices, when the murky waters recede, it is a safe bet that proof-of-value will still remain on the table as a mandate for radiologists going forward.
