New ICD code introduced for COVID-19 deaths

This email is to alert you that a newly-introduced ICD code has been implemented to accurately capture mortality data for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) on death certificates. Please read carefully and forward this email to the state statistical staff in your office who are involved in the preparation of mortality data, as well as others who may receive questions when the data are released.

What is the new code?

The new ICD code for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is U07.1, and below is how it will appear in formal tabular list format. U07.1 COVID-19 Excludes: Coronavirus infection, unspecified site (B34.2) Severe acute respiratory syndrome [SARS], unspecified (U04.9) The WHO has provided a second code, U07.2, for clinical or epidemiological diagnosis of COVID-19 where a laboratory confirmation is inconclusive or not available. Because laboratory test results are not typically reported on death certificates in the U.S., NCHS is not planning to implement U07.2 for mortality statistics.

When will it be implemented?

Immediately.

Will COVID-19 be the underlying cause?

The underlying cause depends upon what and where conditions are reported on the death certificate. However, the rules for coding and selection of the underlying cause of death are expected to result in COVID-19 being the underlying cause more often than not.

What happens if certifiers report terms other than the suggested terms?

If a death certificate reports coronavirus without identifying a specific strain or explicitly specifying that it is not COVID-19, NCHS will ask the states to follow up to verify whether or not the coronavirus was COVID-19. As long as the phrase used indicates the 2019 coronavirus strain, NCHS expects to assign the new code. However, it is preferable and more straightforward for certifiers to use the standard terminology (COVID-19).

What happens if the terms reported on the death certificate indicate uncertainty?

If the death certificate reports terms such as “probable COVID-19” or “likely COVID-19,” these terms would be assigned the new ICD code. It Is not likely that NCHS will follow up on these cases.

If “pending COVID-19 testing” is reported on the death certificate, this would be considered a pending record. In this scenario, NCHS would expect to receive an updated record, since the code will likely result in R99. In this case, NCHS will ask the states to follow up to verify if test results confirmed that the decedent had COVID-19.

Do I need to make any changes at the jurisdictional level to accommodate the new ICD code?

Not necessarily, but you will want to confirm that your systems and programs do not behave as if U07.1 is an unknown code.

Should “COVID-19” be reported on the death certificate only with a confirmed test?

COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death. Certifiers should include as much detail as possible based on their knowledge of the case, medical records, laboratory testing, etc. If the decedent had other chronic conditions such as COPD or asthma that may have also contributed, these conditions can be reported in Part II.

Why does Havana Poon groan all the good posts while ignoring all of the lousy stupid ones??

Because he’s a fucking idiot. Look at his numbers. The number one groaner on the forum, hands down. 27,000+

Obsessive behavior. Mentally unstable.

Show us where it says “any death”, you lying fucking illiterate. In fact, it says:

“NCHS is not planning to implement U07.2 for mortality statistics.”

You’re a fucking idiot.
 
Show us where it says “any death”, you lying fucking illiterate.

The CDC also introduced new coding instructions for physicians. Any death can now be "assumed" to be attributable to the Chinese disease.

How is it even remotely possible that the US number of cases exceeds China's by FOUR times and we haven't peaked yet?

How is it even remotely possible that the US number of deaths exceed China's by THREE times and we haven't peaked yet?

Why is it that we NEVER see the number of Americans who actually have been hospitalized instead of "cases?"

How do they even count the number of "cases" when they will not allow you to be tested without symptoms? Did 304,826 Americans get tested for the virus and show positive?

This data just does not add up and, in my opinion, represent data that is severely distorted. In addition, China is either way under reporting their data, or the US is way OVER reporting theirs.

Thoughts?

China admitted they lied and hid critical information. That's why it doesn't add up...that and non-stop Democrat fear-mongering. At least we have the titers now, so COVID's days are numbered.

Can you say "Bio-weapon attack? That's right, I knew you could..."

Because it is not one virus strain, it is several closely related strains, and the worst one has been deliberately spread in Italy, Spain, France, U.K. and most attacked, is the U.S.

The strain running amok is China is the little sister to the variant assaulting "The West".

And NO!, I do not automatically assume the attacker is China. China may simply be a patsy, set up to take the blame for this.

If I had to follow my first hunch, I would say investigate the activities of ISIS, particularly looking for facilities where they might have exposed prisoners to SARS or MERS over and over, to breed a particularly virulent strain, developed a Vaccine, given it to their loyal Jihadists, and take the original, mild, strain, released it in China. Then when the scare of the China Pandemic had put most nations into Isolation, so they would not get blow back infections in the Muslim nations, had agents spread the deadly strain in the Western nations which have recently devastated the ISIS ranks in conventional warfare exchanges.

There is a reason that the apparent death rates, spread rates, and abnormally long incubation period are being seen ONLY in "The West". It is because it is not a "Natural" pandemic. It is a Bio-Weapon WAR!

The apparent and usual incubation period, could be a misinterpretation of the timing, because it was not started by known contacts or travel, but by deliberate, germ warfare agent, clandestine exposure. The same could be said for the unusually high contraction rates.

To flippantly discount and arrogantly dismiss the "Possibility" would be ignorance and arrogance of a Nation Destroying scale!
