QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE: Testing for Thyroid Abnormalities
The American Thyroid Association Recommends That Adults Be Screened Beginning At Age Thirty-Five (35) And Every Five (5) Years Thereafter¹
HELPING YOU CODE TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF SPECIFICITY It is important to provide an accurate ICD-10 diagnosis code. Please refer to the reverse side when ordering Thyroid-related testing
In an effort to reduce potentially unnecessary medical costs and provide optimal patient care, screening and diagnostic testing should be utilized to provide the greatest clinical utility

This list is intended to assist ordering physicians in providing ICD-10 Diagnosis Codes as required by Medicare and other Insurers. It includes the most commonly found out-patient diagnoses (generally without complications), but is not complete. This list was compiled from the ICD-10-CM 2015, as well as the Medicare Regulations and Manuals issued or authorized by the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services. An ICD-10-CM book should be used as a complete reference. The ultimate responsibility for correct coding belongs to the ordering physician.
