Introduction. A playful competition was launched in a primary dental health care system to improve the recording of diagnoses into an electronic patient chart system and to study what diagnoses were used in primary dental care.Methods. This was a longitudinal follow-up study with public sector primary dental care practices in a Finnish city. A one-year-lasting playful competition between the dental care teams was launched and the monthly percentage of dentists’ visits with recorded diagnosis before, during, and after the intervention was recorded. The assessed diagnoses were recorded with the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10).Results. Before the competition, the level of diagnosis recordings was practically zero. At the end of this intervention, about 25% of the visits had a recorded diagnosis. Two years after the competition, this percentage was 35% without any additional measures. The most frequent diagnoses were dental caries (K02, 38.6%), other diseases of hard tissues of teeth (K03, 14.8%), and diseases of pulp and periapical tissues (K04, 11.4%).Conclusions. Commitment to the idea that recording of diagnoses was beneficial improved the recording of dental diagnoses. However, the diagnoses obtained did not accurately reflect the reputed prevalence of oral diseases in the Finnish population.

The International Classification of Disease (ICD-10) is a disease classification system by giving an alphabetical code and a number. ICD-10 is used, among other things, for the purposes of reporting and insurance claims at health service both primary health centers or clinics and hospitals as well as secondary service places. Currently, almost all Indonesian people have participated in health insurance. Health insurance applies ICD-10 for claim processing. Therefore, dentists must recognize the disease code based on the ICD-10. Neither dentist education nor professional colleges have introduced disease codes according to the ICD-10. This paper aims to provide information and explain how to classify oral diseases based on ICD-10. ICD-10 is a disease classification that is arranged based on a disease categorization system whose organization is in accordance with the criteria determined by the Word Health Organization (WHO). ICD-10 is used to translate disease diagnoses into numeric codes with the aim of making systematic and analytical records so that easy to store, search and re-analyze. The dentist profession association collegiums need to list the codes for dental and oral diseases according to ICD-10 and socialize it to members so that there is a common perception in writing ICD-10 codes.

Purpose Improved medical care leading to increased survivorship among patients with cancer and infectious diseases has created a need for ototoxicity monitoring programs nationwide. The goal of this report is to promote effective and standardized coding and 3rd-party payer billing practices for the audiological management of symptomatic ototoxicity. Method The approach was to compile the relevant International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10-CM) codes and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT; American Medical Association) codes and explain their use for obtaining reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance. Results Each claim submitted to a payer for reimbursement of ototoxicity monitoring must include both ICD-10-CM codes to report the patient's diagnosis and CPT codes to report the services provided by the audiologist. Results address the general 3rd-party payer guidelines for ototoxicity monitoring and ICD-10-CM and CPT coding principles and provide illustrative examples. There is no “stand-alone” CPT code for high-frequency audiometry, an important test for ototoxicity monitoring. The current method of adding a –22 modifier to a standard audiometry code and then submitting a letter rationalizing why the test was done has inconsistent outcomes and is time intensive for the clinician. Similarly, some clinicians report difficulty getting reimbursed for detailed otoacoustic emissions testing in the context of ototoxicity monitoring. Conclusions Ethical practice, not reimbursement, must guide clinical practice. However, appropriate billing and coding resulting in 3rd-party reimbursement for audiology services rendered is critical for maintaining an effective ototoxicity monitoring program. Many 3rd-party payers reimburse for these services. For any CPT code, payment patterns vary widely within and across 3rd-party payers. Standardizing coding and billing practices as well as advocacy including letters from audiology national organizations may be necessary to help resolve these issues of coding and coverage in order to support best practice recommendations for ototoxicity monitoring.

Zusammenfassung: Am Beispiel vorliegender klinischer Studien aus der Literatur werden die Charakteristika der psychogenen Lähmung im Kindes- und Jugendalter erarbeitet. Anhand einer Übersicht wird zunächst der Wandel in der diagnostischen Einordnung der psychogenen Lähmung von der ICD-6 bis zur ICD-10 dargestellt. Weiterhin werden die epidemiologischen Daten aus der Literatur referiert. Die psychogene Lähmung bei Kindern und Jugendlichen zeigt innerhalb der dissoziativen Störungen in dieser Altersgruppe eine charakteristische Alters- und Geschlechtsverteilung, sowie eine gute Prognose. Eine besondere Rolle für die Genese der psychogenen Lähmungen und Gangstörungen spielen invasive iatrogene diagnostische und therapeutische Eingriffe, körperliche Traumata, Infekterkrankungen und Modellerkrankungen.

Digitale Medien sind mittlerweile unentbehrlich in Schule, Beruf, Familie und Freizeit und durchdringen unseren Alltag immer stärker. Dazu vermögen sie die Menschen aller Altersstufen zu faszinieren dank vielfältiger und immer neuer Nutzungsmöglichkeiten für Kommunikation, Unterhaltung und Spiel. Von großer Relevanz sind diesbezüglich insbesondere soziale Netzwerke und Onlinespiele, an denen sich täglich Millionen beteiligen. Der Großteil der Bevölkerung nutzt diese interaktiven Medien funktional, selbstbestimmt und genussvoll. Andererseits belegen empirische Studien, dass eine Minderheit von 1 % bis 6 % ein dysfunktionales, suchtartiges Verhalten zeigt, typischerweise bei der Onlinekommunikation, beim Computerspiel oder beim Konsum von erotisch-pornografischem Bildmaterial. Das Störungsbild „Onlinesucht“ ist zwar eine Realität, figuriert bisher aber nicht als offizielle Diagnose in den Klassifikationssystemen ICD-10 und DSM-5. Die Fachdiskussion über die nosologische Einordnung des Störungsbildes ist noch im Gang. Für die klinische Praxis existieren allerdings bereits jetzt valide diagnostische Hilfestellungen. Da das zur Verfügung stehende professionelle Beratungs- und Therapieangebot nur spärlich in Anspruch genommen wird, kommt der medizinischen Grundversorgung für die Früherkennung und Triage hinsichtlich adäquater Interventionen eine wichtige Bedeutung zu. Im deutschsprachigen Raum stehen verschiedene webbasierte Plattformen für Prävention, Beratung und Therapie zur Verfügung.
