Coding D72.1 (Eosinophilia) without specifying underlying cause or HES subtype risks underpayment and inaccurate data.
Failing to code organ-specific manifestations of HES (e.g., cardiomyopathy) impacts severity and reimbursement.
Variation in coding myeloproliferative HES vs. lymphocytic HES leads to data integrity and clinical trial recruitment issues.
Hypereosinophilic Syndrome (HES) diagnosed. Patient presents with [chief complaint e.g., persistent cough, fatigue, shortness of breath, skin rash, or other relevant symptom]. Physical examination reveals [document specific findings e.g., splenomegaly, cardiopulmonary abnormalities, skin lesions, or neurologic deficits]. Complete blood count (CBC) demonstrates marked eosinophilia with an absolute eosinophil count (AEC) persistently greater than 1500 cellsmcL confirmed on at least two separate occasions. Bone marrow biopsy [performed or pending, results if available]. Serum tryptase level [measured or pending, results if available]. Cardiac evaluation including echocardiogram [performed, scheduled, or pending, results if available] to assess for endomyocardial fibrosis. Pulmonary function tests [performed or pending, results if available]. Differential diagnosis includes secondary causes of eosinophilia such as parasitic infections, allergic reactions, drug reactions, and other hematologic malignancies. These have been ruled out based on [explain basis for exclusion e.g., negative stool ova and parasites, negative allergen testing, review of medications, or other relevant tests]. Molecular testing for FIP1L1-PDGFRA fusion gene [performed or pending, results if available]. Given the persistent eosinophilia and clinical presentation, the diagnosis of Hypereosinophilic Syndrome is made. Initiating treatment with [specify medication e.g., corticosteroids, tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as imatinib, or other relevant therapies]. Patient education provided on disease process, treatment plan, potential side effects of medications, and the importance of regular monitoring. Follow-up scheduled in [ timeframe e.g., two weeks] to assess treatment response and adjust therapy as needed. ICD-10 code D47.2, Hypereosinophilia, assigned.
