Use the new ICD-10 coding for “Long COVID,” or post-acute sequelae of COVID-19. Long COVID-19 - or post-COVID-19 conditions - is a wide range of new, returning or ongoing health problems people may experience more than four weeks after being first infected with SARS-CoV-2. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):.Long COVID-19 starts three months after the original bout of illness or positive test results. Please code correctly and caringly so we can understand the real-world evidence related to COVID-19 and its complicated sequelae. This guidance went into effect on October 1, 2021. Providers should list U09.9 secondary to specific codes for ongoing conditions after a COVID-19 infection, such as shortness of breath (R06.02), fatigue (R53), myalgia (M79.1), multisystem inflammatory syndrome (M35.81), and others, according to new tabular instructions for the code.
