MobiHealthNews researchers have pored through the more than 155,000 entries for references to mobile health apps.
Under
the “2014 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes” the system lists “mobile medical
apps” as one of the external causes in its “Injury, poisoning and
certain other consequences of external causes” category. For example,
the new codes include a sub-code for “injury after falling over in an
attempt to photograph a mole on one's back with a smartphone.”
The
set of T33.011D billable diagnosis codes marks the first time that any
mobile medical app user can be reimbursed for using the tools.
Among
the other sub-codes for injury caused by mobile medical apps is one for
being “creatively destroyed by a mobile medical app” and another for
“declaring that technology can’t solve everything in healthcare” after
using one.
