The new ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes for adult and pediatric (E66.81-3) obesity are now available for use beginning October 1. The new E-codes, when used with Z-codes describing BMI, decrease the stigmatization of older codes like E66.01 'Morbid obesity due to excess calories'. Reducing stigmatization built into the billing process is a good enough reason to use the new codes, but it is easy to forget that diagnostic code descriptions can also show up in problem lists and other patient facing materials. The sadness and anxiety caused by some of the old descriptions can needlessly compromise patient relationships.

Today, on World Diabetes Day, Nexus Hospitals stands alongside individuals and communities to raise awareness about diabetes—a condition impacting nearly a quarter of all patients admitted to hospitals in Australia. Often, these patients are admitted for other health issues, yet diabetes management remains essential to their overall care. Diabetes can have a significant impact on many parts of the body, including the eyes leading to diabetic eye diseases like diabetic retinopathy, cataracts and glaucoma. At Nexus, our VMO and nursing teams work together with other healthcare professionals to ensure that patients’ diabetes care remains consistent and integrated within their hospital journey. Our commitment to medical adherence, glucose monitoring, and patient education is part of a holistic approach that prioritises each individual’s needs. This collaborative model not only supports optimal diabetes management but reinforces a partnership with our patients for lasting health. Together, we’re fostering a brighter, healthier future for those living with diabetes. #WorldDiabetesDay #HealthcarePartnership #DiabetesAwareness #NexusHospitals
