Billing Crosswalk for Practitioners

How to Use This Document

Practitioners can continue using familiar ICD-10 codes for insurance purposes while understanding they are treating manifestations of the same underlying condition. Select the code that best matches the current presentation, understanding that multiple codes often apply because they represent different aspects of the same CRS.

Understanding Your Patient's CRS

When you see:

  • Multiple diagnoses → Single condition with varied manifestations
  • Treatment resistance → Architectural problem, not wrong medication
  • "Comorbidity" → Different angles of same dysfunction
  • Relapse → Architecture reasserting itself
  • Family history → Inherited generator patterns

Treatment Implications

Current evidence-based treatments provide symptom management but cannot cure the architectural dysfunction. Setting realistic expectations:

  • Medications: Temporary generator modulation
  • Therapy: Coping strategy development
  • Combination: Slightly better but still limited
  • Long-term: Management not cure without architectural intervention

The medical necessity for treatment remains unchanged. The difference is understanding what you're actually treating: not 297 different diseases, but 297 manifestations of consciousness recursively processing itself into exhaustion.
