What diagnosis code should I report for a history of Chlamydia?
You should report V13.29 (Personal history of other diseases; other genital system and obstetric disorders; other genital system and obstetric disorders) or V13.02 (Personal history, urinary [tract] infection), as Chlamydia can cause urinary tract infections. Be on the lookout: As neither of these codes is very informative, the ICD-9 staff will put this issue on the agenda for discussion at the next Coordination and Maintenance Committee meeting to perhaps develop a V code just for this. Keep watching The Ob-gyn Coding Alert for the latest information. ICD-10: When ICD-9 becomes ICD-10 in 2013,you'll report Z87.49 (Personal history of other diseases of the genitourinary system) instead of V13.29 and Z87.41 (Personal history, urinary [tract] infection[s]) instead of V13.02.

ALL THANKS TO DR WILLIAMS
ReplyDeletehis product is by far the best plan for treating fibroids naturally...the practical step by step instructions and the detailed information regarding the real cause and how to treat uterine fibroids were a real eye opener. I started dr williams medication after intense bleeding and pain which occurred during one of my rehearsals (I am a professional violinist).I was later that week diagnosed with 2 medium sized fibroids which placed an enormous pressure on my bladder. I was advised by 3 different doctors to undergo surgery to remove these fibroids as I was told that there was nothing I could do to shrink or stop their growth. Luckily, I ran into dr williams by accident as I was searching for information on the net regarding my condition. I was so relieved to have found that surgery was not always the answer, that it can be dangerous and that uterine fibroid can return even after surgical intervention. In less than 4 weeks of taking dr williams herbal portion and following his instruction, both of my fibroid had shrunk by 100% and the second ultrasound taken 7 weeks after I began taking dr williams medication, had shown that both of these were completely gone. I also my periods became regular. and now am three months old pregnant, you can contact his email address on drwilliams098675@gmail.com for advice and for his product.
