In US, we use both ICD-10 and ICD-11 with and without modifications. Why is it so? For what purpose each is used? Why is the same version not used for the purposes you listed? What do you think are the prospective of using the same version in the future? And what would be your recommendations to the federal government for adopting only one version of the ICD?
Practice coding and answer the questions below.
Use the code resource link (https://www.icd10data.com/) to answer the questions and share your experience in this discussion:
During a postpartum visit, a provider discusses the patient’s options for birth control. She decides to start taking birth control pills because she plans for another baby next year. The provider gives her a sample and writes a prescription.
1. What was the primary reason for the visit?
2. What is the Keyword you will use to look up the primary reason?
3. What other problem, if any, need to be coded?
4. What indexes would you use to determine code selection?
5. How the questions you answered are used in the reimbursement cycle?
6. What was your overall experience doing this coding activity? (Challenging, easy, fearful, fun, educational)
