Official Coding Guidelines

POA when one ICD-10-CM code represents multiple conditions

Same Diagnosis Code for Two or More Conditions When the same ICD-10-CM diagnosis code applies to two or more conditions during the same encounter (e.g., two separate conditions classified to the same ICD-10-CM diagnosis code): Assign “Y” if all conditions represented by the single ICD-10-CM code were present on admission (e.g., bilateral unspecified age-related cataracts). Assign “N” if any of the conditions represented by the single ICD-10-CM code was not present on admission (e.g. traumatic secondary and recurrent hemorrhage and seroma is assigned to a single code T79.2, but only one of the conditions was present on admission).
