Diagnoses, Symptom Control, and Payment Diagnoses: List each diagnosis for which the
patient is receiving home care (Column 1) and enter its ICD-9-CM code at the level of highest specificity (no
surgical/procedure codes) (Column 2). Diagnoses are listed in the order that best reflect the seriousness of each
condition and support the disciplines and services provided. Rate the degree of symptom control for each condition
(Column 2). Choose one value that represents the degree of symptom control appropriate for each diagnosis: Vcodes (for M1020 or M1022) or E-codes (for M1022 only) may be used. ICD-9-CM sequencing requirements must be
followed if multiple coding is indicated for any diagnoses. If a V-code is reported in place of a case mix diagnosis,
then optional item M1024 Payment Diagnoses (Columns 3 and 4) may be completed. A case mix diagnosis is a
diagnosis that determines the Medicare PPS case mix group. Do not assign symptom control ratings for V or Ecodes.
Code each row according to the following directions for each column:
Column 1: Enter the description of the diagnosis.
Column 2: Enter the ICD-9-CM code for the diagnosis described in Column 1;
Rate the degree of symptom control for the condition listed in Column 1 using the following scale:
0 - Asymptomatic, no treatment needed at this time
1 - Symptoms well controlled with current therapy
2 - Symptoms controlled with difficulty, affecting daily functioning; patient needs ongoing monitoring
3 - Symptoms poorly controlled; patient needs frequent adjustment in treatment and dose monitoring
4 - Symptoms poorly controlled; history of re-hospitalizations
Note that in Column 2 the severity rating for symptom control of each diagnosis should not be used to determine
the sequencing of the diagnoses listed in Column 1. These are separate items and sequencing may not coincide.
Sequencing of diagnoses should reflect the seriousness of each condition and support the disciplines and
services provided.
Column 3: (OPTIONAL) If a V-code is assigned to any row in Column 2, in place of a case mix diagnosis, it may be
necessary to complete optional item M1024 Payment Diagnoses (Columns 3 and 4). See OASIS manual and
Coding guidance.
Column 4: (OPTIONAL) If a V-code in Column 2 is reported in place of a case mix diagnosis that requires multiple
diagnosis codes under ICD-9-CM coding guidelines, enter the diagnosis descriptions and the ICD-9-CM codes in
the same row in Columns 3 and 4. For example, if the case mix diagnosis is a manifestation code, record the
diagnosis description and ICD-9-CM code for the underlying condition in Column 3 of that row and the diagnosis
description and ICD-9-CM code for the manifestation in Column 4 of that row. Otherwise, leave Column 4 blank
in that row.
