Has anyone looked at Manifestation codes in I-10 vs I-9? I can't figure out what they have determined to be different. Can anyone help me out?
For example,
In I-9, 327.26- Sleep related hypoventilation/hyposxemia in conditions classifiable elsewhere; is designated as a manifestation code.
In I-10, G47.36- Sleep related hypoventilation in conditions classified elsewhere; is NOT designated as a manifestation code, however it states "code first underlying condition" underneath the code.
I'm not sure why its designated manifestation in I-9, but not in I-10. Perhaps I don't have a clear understanding of manifestation codes vs "code first" codes?
Thanks for your help!
