About coding COVID-19
The ICD-10-CM code for COVID-19 is U07.1 (COVID-19). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on U07.1.
It is also searched as coronavirus.
Within U07 (emergency use of U07), U07.1 is specifically for COVID-19. Related codes cover Vaping-related disorder (U07.0).
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of U07.1, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: coronavirus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere (B97.2-) and pneumonia due to SARS-associated coronavirus (J12.81).
Use an additional code to identify pneumonia or other manifestations, such as: pneumonia due to COVID-19 (J12.82). Use an additional code, if applicable, for associated conditions such as: COVID-19 associated coagulopathy (D68.8), disseminated intravascular coagulation (D65), hypercoagulable states (D68.69) and thrombophilia (D68.69).
