Influenza

 It's Influenza Season !


In ICD-10-CM, there are 3 basic categories to report influenza:
 

J09: Influenza due to certain identified influenza viruses. 

Includes influenza documented as avian/bird, swine, other animal origin or A/H5N1. Odds of encountering this are LOW (thankfully).

 J10: Influenza due to other identified influenza virus. 

This is when we actually know the type of influenza by lab testing


 J11: Influenza due to unidentified influenza virus.  

Assigned when the specific type of influenza is documented as “suspected,” “possible” or “probable” avian, other novel type A or other specified type.
  
There are also codes for influenza with pneumonia, with any associated pleural effusion or sinusitis, other respiratory manifestations such as laryngitis or pharyngitis, otitis media, gastrointestinal manifestations, encephalopathy, myocarditis.
 
Please remember to ASSOCIATE the influenza with the manifestation! (fyi: Capitalized, underlined, bolded and in red because it's important)

 
In ICD-10-CM, there are 3 basic categories to report influenza:
    • J09: Influenza due to certain identified influenza viruses.
      • Includes influenza documented as avian/bird, swine, other animal origin or A/H5N1.
        •  A positive laboratory test is not required.
        • Assignment is based on the physician’s diagnostic statement.
  •  J10: Influenza due to other identified influenza virus.
  •  J11: Influenza due to unidentified influenza virus.
    • Assigned when the specific type of influenza is documented as “suspected,” “possible” or “probable” avian, other novel type A or other specified type.
ICD-10-CM requires more documentation with respect to manifestations.
There are codes for influenza with pneumonia, with any associated pleural effusion or sinusitis, other respiratory manifestations such as laryngitis or pharyngitis, otitis media, gastrointestinal manifestations, encephalopathy, myocarditis and manifestations not otherwise specified.
Documentation of any associated drug resistance and the classification of drug is required in ICD-10-CM.
When pulmonary manifestations are associated with influenza, ICD-10-CM asks if the patient was exposed to environmental tobacco smoke, has a history of tobacco use or is currently a smoker.
