Jul 14, 2014 · Should this general definition of decompensated be applied when assigning ICD-10-CM codes as well? For example, what is the appropriate ICD-10-CM code assignment for a diagnosis of chronic systolic heart failure, currently decompensated?

Apr 11, 2018 · jlprinz@att.net. April 2018. Thank you for the insight and feedback . When I think of the "Thrust of Care" for each -- CHF will more often then not end up as the more intensely treated of the 2 diagnosis.

Feb 14, 2018 · With the new ICD-10-CM codes, we finally have codes to identify type 2 MI and make the important distinction between it and type 1 MI. In the past, type 2 MI was coded as NSTEMI, creating many practical problems, especially since these two types of MI have completely different causes, implications for management, implications for quality measures, and outcomes.
