Under which circumstances might conditions not be coded according to ICD-10-CM?

The selection indicating that conditions documented but irrelevant to the primary condition may not be coded according to ICD-10-CM is accurate because the coding guidelines prioritize coding conditions that have a bearing on the patient’s treatment, diagnosis, or care management. If a condition is deemed irrelevant to the primary diagnosis or doesn’t impact the clinical decision-making process, it would not be necessary to code it. This approach helps maintain the clarity and relevance of medical records by focusing on conditions that are significant for the patient's current healthcare situation.

In contrast, other scenarios such as being treated in an outpatient setting or having no additional information required do not inherently exclude coding practices. Similarly, conditions integral to the disease may actually be coded as they often provide essential context or understanding of the primary diagnosis, contributing to a comprehensive view of the patient's health.
