Secondary Thrombocytosis is when the body produces too many platelets and accounts for 80-90%) of thrombocytosis. If patient has primary or essential thrombocytothemia, that is coded to D47.3. Previously there were no codes for this.Ĭhapter 3: Diseases of blood and blood forming organs and immune mechanism (D50-D89)Įxpanded new codes for D55.21, Anemia due to pyruvate kinase deficiency and anemia due other disorders of glycolytic enzymes.Īlso new codes D75.838 other thrombocytosis (includes secondary thrombocytosis) and D75.839, Thrombocytosis, NOS. Two codes were also added to describe primary and secondary malignant neoplasm of bilateral ovaries. May affect women who have the textured (rough) type of implants. Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a very rare cancer of the immune system. The first big change involves adding code C84.7A for Anaplastic large cell lymphoma, ALK-negative, breast. Our education module addresses the majority of changes. Keep in mind, the below does not include every single change. The major changes will be discussed below. Another example is partial thickness burn is now coded by site, SECOND DEGREE. An example is atrophy, nutritional, E41 changed to E43, unless with marasmus in which it would be E41. If there were any “themes” for this year’s changes, it would be first, “many excludes1 codes changed to excludes2 codes,” and second, “expansion of existing codes to more specific codes.” Also some index entries had codes changed to correct errors and to more appropriately code the condition.
I have to say that there were really no big earthshattering changes except for maybe expansion of the G92 codes, addition of F32.A for depression, NOS and addition of U09.9 for sequela of COVID-19. Most of the changes occurred in the injuries, poisonings, and consequences of external causes, musculoskeletal system, digestive system, and factors influencing health status and contact with health services and chapters. 22 revised codes (2021 had 47 revised codes).30 deleted codes (2021 had 58 deleted codes).
