Contribute to JustCoding’s 2022 coding productivity survey

JustCoding is conducting a coding productivity survey to create a report for subscribers in a future issue. If you would like to contribute and see how your facility compares to others across the country, please click here! One respondent will be chosen at random to receive a free copy of the HCPro revenue cycle webinar of their choosing.

ICD-10-CM codes from categories I65.- (occlusion and stenosis of precerebral arteries, not resulting in cerebral infarction) and I66.- (occlusion and stenosis of cerebral arteries, not resulting in cerebral infarction) are used to indicate stenosis and occlusion that do not result in infarction. Assign the most specific code as appropriate according to diagnostic statements provided by the physician. If the affected artery is not specified, do not assume a code for an affected location, but rather use an unspecified code. If more than one arterial location is affected and a specific code is available for separate locations, separate codes should be assigned.
