I have questions about coding for contact dermatitis. Does the Academy have any resources to help?
Asked and Answered
March 1, 2022
Yes. The Academy offers a selection of quick coding guides covering a variety of topics, including contact dermatitis. The Contact Dermatitis Quick Coder has been recently updated to reflect new 2022 codes for irritant contact dermatitis due to contact with body fluids.
Find this and other quick coding guides in the Academy’s Coding Resource Center. Other quick coder topics include:
ICD-10-CM
Insect bites and stings
E/M
Ancillary checklists
Definitions for the MDM elements terminology
Skin biopsy
Photodynamic therapy
