Pulmonary Embolism ICD-10-CM Codes

Use a pulmonary embolism ICD code when documenting and billing for cases of pulmonary embolism in medical records and insurance claims.

Common treatments for pulmonary embolism include anticoagulant medications (blood thinners), thrombolytic therapy, and in severe cases, surgical procedures like thrombectomy.

A diagnosis code for pulmonary embolism is a specific alphanumeric code used in medical billing and coding to identify and categorize the condition of a patient with a blood clot in the lungs. It helps healthcare providers communicate the diagnosis and seek reimbursement for services.
