U09.9 Post COVID-19 condition, unspecified (new code) Post-acute sequela of COVID-19

Note: This code enables establishment of a link with COVID-19. This code is not to be used in cases that are still presenting with active COVID-19. However, an exception is made in cases of re-infection with COVID-19, occurring with a condition related to prior COVID-19.

Code first the specific condition related to COVID-19 if known, such as:

chronic respiratory failure (J96.1-)loss of smell (R43.8)loss of taste (R43.8)multisystem inflammatory syndrome (M35.81)pulmonary embolism (I26.-)pulmonary fibrosis (J84.10)

ASHA Notes

U09.9 describes patients with a confirmed case of COVID-19 but who are no longer infected (resolved COVID-19). Use this code when there is clear documentation that the hearing or vestibular disorder is directly caused by COVID-19.
- Clinicians previously used B94.8 (sequelae of other specified infectious and parasitic diseases).
Report U09.9 secondary to the treating diagnosis code(s) (e.g., hearing loss).
Consult the medical record or referring physician before reporting U09.9 in addition to the treating diagnosis. For additional details, see FAQs Regarding ICD-10-CM Coding for COVID-19 (AHA).
There is no time limit on when personal history or sequelae codes may be used.
Additional ICD-10 codes describe other COVID-19 related cases, such as patients with a current or recurrent infection, or a personal history of COVID-19. See ASHA’s ICD-10-CM code list [PDF] and the 2021 update for more information.
