(M1021/1023/1025) Diagnoses, Symptom Control, and Optional Diagnoses: List each diagnosis for which the
patient is receiving home care in Column 1, and enter its ICD-10-CM code at the level of highest specificity in Column 2
(diagnosis codes only - no surgical or procedure codes allowed). Diagnoses are listed in the order that best reflects the
seriousness of each condition and supports the disciplines and services provided. Rate the degree of symptom control
for each condition in Column 2. ICD-10-CM sequencing requirements must be followed if multiple coding is indicated for
any diagnoses. If a Z-code is reported in Column 2 in place of a diagnosis that is no longer active (a resolved
condition), then optional item M1025 (Optional Diagnoses - Columns 3 and 4) may be completed. Diagnoses reported
in M1025 will not impact payment.
Code each row according to the following directions for each column:
Column 1:

Enter the description of the diagnosis. Sequencing of diagnoses should reflect the seriousness of each
condition and support the disciplines and services provided.

Column 2:

Enter the ICD-10-CM code for the condition described in Column 1 - no surgical or procedure codes
allowed. Codes must be entered at the level of highest specificity and ICD-10-CM coding rules and
sequencing requirements must be followed. Note that external cause codes (ICD-10-CM codes beginning
with V, W, X, or Y) may not be reported in M1021 (Primary Diagnosis) but may be reported in M1023
(Secondary Diagnoses). Also note that when a Z-code is reported in Column 2, the code for the
underlying condition can often be entered in Column 2, as long as it is an active on-going condition
impacting home health care.
Rate the degree of symptom control for the condition listed in Column 1. Do not assign a symptom control
rating if the diagnosis code is a V, W, X, Y or Z-code. Choose one value that represents the degree of
symptom control appropriate for each diagnosis 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 the rating for symptom control in Column 2 should not be used to determine the sequencing of
the diagnoses listed in Column 1. These are separate items and sequencing may not coincide.

Column 3:

(OPTIONAL) There is no requirement that HHAs enter a diagnosis code in M1025 (Columns 3 and 4).
Diagnoses reported in M1025 will not impact payment.
Agencies may choose to report an underlying condition in M1025 (Columns 3 and 4) when:
•
a Z-code is reported in Column 2 AND
•
the underlying condition for the Z-code in Column 2 is a resolved condition . An example of a
resolved condition is uterine cancer that is no longer being treated following a hysterectomy.

Column 4:

(OPTIONAL) If a Z-code is reported in M1021/M1023 (Column 2) and the agency chooses to report a
resolved underlying condition that requires multiple diagnosis codes under ICD-10-CM coding guidelines,
enter the diagnosis descriptions and the ICD-10-CM codes in the same row in Columns 3 and 4. For
example, if the resolved condition is a manifestation code, record the diagnosis description and ICD-10CM code for the underlying condition in Column 3 of that row and the diagnosis description and ICD-10CM code for the manifestation in Column 4 of that row. Otherwise, leave Column 4 blank in that row.
