Are you keeping up with all of the 2022 ICD-10 coding changes that were effective October 1st?

There are new codes for “non-radiographic” spondylarthritis, M45.A0 to M45.AB.

Back pain is the hallmark of non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis. “Non-radiographic” means the disease causes symptoms, but there is no visible damage on X-ray.

There are codes for Sjogren’s syndrome, having an identification of such, and not just “sicca” syndrome, M35.00 to M35.09.

There are also updates to codes for cough that identify cough with greater specificity. The new codes for cough are R05.1 to R05.9.
