Coding for COVID-19 and Non-Direct Care
The introduction of 2019-nCoV Coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2/2019-nCoV (COVID-19) in the United States has produced an influx of patients into the health care system. While knowing how to diagnose and treat these patients is vital, being able to appropriately capture this information for data tracking and payment also is important. The National Center for Healthcare Statistics has developed a resource for International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) coding that already is in effect.
COVID-19 attacks the respiratory system; therefore, suspicion of the disease typically will accompany respiratory
conditions. A confirmation of COVID-19 will therefore be linked to a specific respiratory condition.
