I was wondering if anyone has a comprehensive cheat sheet they'd be willing to share that displays specific medications/drugs that fall under each Z79.- subcategory (not just the examples provided in the ICD-10 release itself such as Trulicity & Azathioprine)? I'm being more cautious about using Z79.899 since the Z79 changes eff 10/01, but I'm tired of having to google drug classes for long-term medicines I'm not familiar with. For instance, I don't know what specific drugs fall under the categories called mitotic inhibitors, alkylating agents, bisphosphonates, and calcineurin inhibitors- other than the official examples given (which don't help me much).
I think it's bizarre that there still aren't dx codes created for long-term use of blood pressure meds as well as regular analgesics like Tylenol!
