Wiki Anesthesia vs icd-10

Create Wiki
ICD-10 is for diagnostic and inpatient hospital coding. Anesthesia codes will still be anesthesia codes as far as I'm aware. You'll have to use ICD-10 for diagnoses.
 
I realize icd-10 is diagnostic coding...i should have sd diagnosis codes for anesthesia claims....i am referring to the dx codes...for example, what dx code would cataracts rt eye be coded? Thanks

I am not familiar with catract coding I also saw the Q12.0 codes.

You can use the below link a convert the ICD-9 to ICD-10 and can be fast way to narrow the selection

The following ICD-10-CM Index entries contain back-references to ICD-10-CM Q12.0:

this is why relying on the conversion programs can be confusing. An Icd-10 CM book can help erase this confusion.. The chapters and break down of the codes for the ones you have asked about is:
Chapter 17 — Congenital Malformations, Deformations and Chromosomal Abnormalities Q00-Q99
Chapter 7 — Diseases of the Eye and Adnexa H00-H59

The Q codes are congenital codes.
