Please tell us what you thought about today’s presentation by taking the survey below:
Effective October 1, 2022, updates to the International Classification of Disease, 10th Revision clinical modification (ICD-10 CM) added new coding specificity options for recording diagnoses of dementia. The expanded codes may be used to capture details of dementia type, severity and more fully identify types of neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia. This presentation will introduce the improved coding options and describe the coding structure format used in the updated dementia code sections. New code guidance for agitation in Alzheimer’s dementia will be compared to the International Psychogeriatric Association definition of agitation cognitive disorders. Dr. Carolyn Clevenger will discuss use of the codes in practice and the potential implications of the dementia code revisions on providing care for persons living with dementia.
