CodeDescriptionWhen to UseKey Documentation
E11.9Type 2 diabetes mellitus without complicationsUse when T2DM is documented without specific complications.
  • HbA1c >6.5%
E11.22Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic chronic kidney diseaseUse when CKD is documented as a complication of T2DM.
  • eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73m²
  • UACR >300 mg/g
I50.9Heart failure, unspecifiedUse when heart failure is documented without specific type.
  • BNP >100 pg/mL
  • Ejection fraction <40%

Clinical Decision Support

Always review the patient's clinical documentation thoroughly. When in doubt, choose the more specific code and ensure documentation supports it.

Additional codes that should be used in conjunction with the main diagnosis codes when applicable.

Chronic kidney disease, stage 3

N18.3
Use to specify the stage of CKD.

Differential Codes

Alternative codes to consider when ruling out similar conditions to the primary diagnosis.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia

E11.65
Use when hyperglycemia is documented.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus with other kidney complications

E11.29
Use when kidney complications are not specifically CKD.

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

I50.23
Use when LVEF is ≤40%.

Documentation & Coding Risks

Avoid these common documentation and coding issues when documenting Jardiance to ensure proper reimbursement, maintain compliance, and reduce audit risk. These guidelines are particularly important when using ICD-10 code E11.9.

Impact

Clinical: Inaccurate representation of patient condition., Regulatory: Potential audit risk., Financial: Reduced reimbursement.

Mitigation Strategy

Use specific codes for documented complications.

Impact

Reimbursement: May result in lower reimbursement rates., Compliance: Non-compliance with coding guidelines., Data Quality: Inaccurate data on diabetes complications.

Mitigation Strategy

Use E11.22 or other specific codes when complications are documented.

Impact

Risk of undercoding diabetes complications.

Mitigation Strategy

Ensure thorough documentation of all complications.

Documentation errors, coding pitfalls, and audit risks are interconnected aspects of medical coding and billing. Addressing all three areas helps ensure accurate coding, optimal reimbursement, and regulatory compliance.
