I'm new to HH so the whole aspect of coding/dx codes is new to me. We have coders who review our charts but have to enter something relevant in our initial soc in order to submit it to be reviewed. Everyone tells me I'll quickly start remembering the common codes but my brain is on overload from Oasis already so I don't know about that! Anyone have a cheat sheet they use for codes? I know there's got to be something out there, I just need to find it or get my butt in gear and make my own!

thanks!

I don't have one (we just have to add the best guess diagnosis not the ICD code) but couldn't you build your own rather quickly by taking the commons ones off of existing 485s?

What are your coworkers using?

My suggestion would be for you to ask one of the coders in your facility to help you compile a sheet of frequently used ICD-10 codes for you to keep handy. This is what we do in our office, and it is very helpful!

I found an app for my iPhone for icd10. Try googling ICD 10 consult.

I did a lookup for,this today and found a list of most common used ICD 10 codes in home health.

Check out Shield healthcare.com. They have a good sized list from which you can make a cheat sheet. Good luck.
