The following ICD-10 codes have been added for use in the EHR and PM:
- U07.1 - COVID 19, virus identified
- U07.2 - COVID 19, virus not identified
The World Health Organization identifies the following reasons for using these codes:
- An emergency ICD-10 code of ‘U07.1 COVID-19, virus identified’ is assigned to a disease diagnosis of COVID-19 confirmed by laboratory testing.
- An emergency ICD-10 code of ‘U07.2 COVID-19, virus not identified’ is assigned to a clinical or epidemiological diagnosis of COVID-19 where laboratory confirmation is inconclusive or not available.
- Both U07.1 and U07.2 may be used for mortality coding as cause of death
