Welcome to your billing and coding weekly solutions by American Acupuncture Council Network (AAC).
Did you know there was an update to ICD10 codes for cough?
The updates to codes for cough identify cough with greater specificity.
These codes are not typically used for reimbursement; however, identifying a complication or comorbidity can identify barriers to a patient’s recovery.
The new codes for cough are as follows:
- R05.1 acute cough
- R05.2 subacute cough
- R05.3 chronic cough
- R05.4 cough syncope
- R05.8 other specified cough
- R05.9 cough, unspecified
Remember, billing with incorrect acupuncture CPT and ICD codes can lead to claim rejections and delays in payments, which can have a devastating impact on generating revenue and keeping you in business.
If you are experiencing insurance claim denial, staff spending too much time trying to get claims paid, and patients asking why their claims have not been paid then American Acupuncture Council Network is your solution.
American Acupuncture Council Network stays ahead of the curve on the latest trends and changes in billing and coding by utilizing their direct channel of communication with the insurance companies and organizations that set the guidelines.
There is a reason acupuncturists have trusted AAC with their business for over 30 years.
