The tabular list only includes toxic encephalitis and toxic metabolic, but when you search the alphabetic index by “G92.8” you’ll find the additional diagnoses of “drug included metabolic encephalopathy,” “Jamaican neuropathy,” “Jamaican paraplegic tropical ataxic-spastic syndrome,” and “heroin vapor leukoencephalopathy” to name a few. Let’s say I wanted to know what diagnoses are included in code G92.8 Other toxic encephalopathy. Let me give you an example, there are many “other” and “unspecified” codes, and the tabular list does not include all synonyms, so I often search the alphabetic index by that particular ICD-10-CM code to find those other inclusive conditions. Again, some of you may find it faster to use a grouper, but with the type of work I do, I often what to know every term associated with a particular ICD-10-CM code.

I like to keep a PDF copy of the alphabetic index and tabular list so I can quickly look up diagnoses by either description or ICD-10-CM code. Hold onto that thought as I tell you a way to check out if these new codes are classified as a CC or not.The other must have resource from the 2023 ICD-10-CM CMS.gov webpage is the 2023 code tables, tabular and index. Code E87.2, which included both acute and chronic acidosis was classified as a complication (CC), but I wonder if differentiating between acute and chronic acidosis will eventually result chronic metabolic acidosis being removed from the CC list. What I find most interesting is the addition of acuity with the diagnosis of acidosis.

E87.29 is a new code for other acidosis that includes respiratory acidosis NOS.

E87.22 is a new code for CHRONIC metabolic acidosis that includes lactic acidosis with a code first note for the underlying etiology, if applicable.

E87.21 is a new code for ACUTE metabolic acidosis that includes acute lactic acidosis.

E87.20 is a new code for acidosis, unspecified but still includes lactic acidosis NOS and metabolic acidosis NOS.

There is a table that I’ll mention below that also lists new, deleted, and revised codes, but I like to see the changes in the context of the tabular list because then I gain insight into how to properly use the code.įor example, did you know code E87.2 for acidosis has been expanded? Instead of one code for all types of acidosis, E87.2 has been expanded to four different codes and these include the following: The addenda reveal what changes occurred in the tabular list by each chapter so it is an easy way to find new, deleted and revised ICD-10-CM codes. As I prepare for FY 2023, I like to review the ICD-10-CM Tabular List of Disease and Injuries 2023 Addenda. When you visit the 2023 ICD-10-CM on CMS.gov to get a copy of the FY 2023 ICD-10-CM Coding Guidelines, it is often worthwhile to download the 2023 Addendum. I’m sure most of you have already downloaded FY 2023 ICD-10-CM/PCS and the Official Coding Guidelines, but there are some other lesser-known resources that can help you prepare for FY 2023.
