Sorry if you have read this in two of the other places I posted it.
I am finding in the 6 hours we have been using the ICD10 coding that it is really lacking details in AC. My example: URI
ICD9: 465.9 Acute upper respiratory infections
ICD10 in AC: J06.9 acute respiratory infection
ACTUAL ICD10 code from the book: J06.9 Acute upper respiratory infection, unspecified
What code I really want to use: J00 Acute nasopharyngitis ("common cold" in AC)
I would love to see that "unspecified" aspect of J06.9 and all other codes (J39.0 UTI per AC but actually UTI sight unspecified --> really need to code acute cystitis without hematuria N30.00). I have been told that there is no way to make the code exactly as it reads in the ICD10 book and that I can submit a recommendation, which I did already. Wondering what you AC employees think.
