CodeDescriptionWhen to UseKey Documentation
0WQF0ZZAutologous bone marrow transplantUse when the patient receives their own stem cells for transplantation.
  • Documentation of autologous stem cell source
  • Condition requiring transplant (e.g., multiple myeloma)
0WQF3ZZAllogeneic bone marrow transplantUse when the patient receives stem cells from a donor.
  • Documentation of donor type and HLA matching
  • Condition requiring transplant (e.g., leukemia)
T86.0Complications of bone marrow transplantUse for documenting complications such as GVHD post-transplant.
  • Biopsy-proven GVHD
  • Chimerism studies

Clinical Decision Support

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

Decision Criteria

clinical Criteria

  • Patient's own stem cells are used for transplantation.

Applicable To

  • Autologous stem cell transplant

Excludes

  • Allogeneic bone marrow transplant

Clinical Validation Requirements

  • Documentation of autologous stem cell source
  • Condition requiring transplant (e.g., multiple myeloma)

Code-Specific Risks

  • Misclassification if donor type is not specified

Coding Notes

  • Ensure donor type and stem cell source are documented.

Ancillary Codes

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

Introduction of other therapeutic substance into peripheral vein, percutaneous approach

3E0M3GC
Use for infusion of stem cells during transplant.

Differential Codes

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

Allogeneic bone marrow transplant

0WQF3ZZ
Use when stem cells are from a donor.

Autologous bone marrow transplant

0WQF0ZZ
Use when the patient's own stem cells are used.

Graft-versus-host disease

D89.81
Use to specify the type of GVHD.

Documentation & Coding Risks

Avoid these common documentation and coding issues when documenting Bone Marrow Transplantation to ensure proper reimbursement, maintain compliance, and reduce audit risk. These guidelines are particularly important when using ICD-10 code 0WQF0ZZ.

Impact

Clinical: Inaccurate treatment records., Regulatory: Non-compliance with documentation standards., Financial: Potential claim denials.

Mitigation Strategy

Use standardized templates that include donor type fields., Regular training on documentation requirements.

Impact

Reimbursement: Incorrect coding can lead to denied claims., Compliance: Non-compliance with coding guidelines., Data Quality: Inaccurate patient records.

Mitigation Strategy

Ensure donor type is clearly documented as autologous or allogeneic.

Impact

Lack of specificity in donor type can lead to audit findings.

Mitigation Strategy

Implement mandatory fields in EHR for donor type and source.

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.

Common questions about ICD-10 coding for Bone Marrow Transplantation, with expert answers to help guide accurate code selection and documentation.

Documentation Templates for Bone Marrow Transplantation

Use these documentation templates to ensure complete and accurate documentation for Bone Marrow Transplantation. These templates include all required elements for proper coding and billing.

Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplant

Specialty: Hematology

Required Elements

  • Donor type
  • Stem cell source
  • Conditioning regimen
  • Complications

Example Documentation

Allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant for AML, using 8/8 HLA-matched sibling donor. Tacrolimus/MTX for GVHD prophylaxis.

Examples: Poor vs. Good Documentation

Poor Documentation Example
BMT done for leukemia.
Good Documentation Example
Allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant (0WQF3ZZ) for C92.0 (AML with FLT3 mutation), using 8/8 HLA-matched sibling donor. Tacrolimus/MTX for GVHD prophylaxis.
Explanation
The good example specifies the type of transplant, donor details, and prophylaxis, ensuring accurate coding and billing.
