  • Presence of both diabetes and CKD

Applicable To

  • Type 2 diabetes with CKD

Excludes

  • Diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition (E08.-)
  • Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus (E09.-)

Clinical Validation Requirements

  • Documentation of type 2 diabetes
  • Presence of CKD stage

Code-Specific Risks

Chronic kidney disease, stage 3 (moderate)

N18.3
Use to specify the stage of CKD in diabetes.

Streptococcus, group B, as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere

B95.2
Use to specify the organism causing the infection.

Differential Codes

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

Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic nephropathy

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

Mitigation Strategy

Always document the side of the body affected, Use templates to ensure completeness

Impact

Reimbursement: May lead to lower reimbursement rates., Compliance: Non-compliance with coding guidelines., Data Quality: Decreases the accuracy of health data.

Mitigation Strategy

Always document and code to the highest level of specificity.

Impact

Inaccurate documentation of diabetes complications

Mitigation Strategy

Regular training on documentation requirements and coding updates.

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.
