Does anyone know if there is an ICD 9 code (not DRG) for a patient that leaves AMA? I am going crazy looking for one! I remember from coding school our instructor told us that sometimes insurance companies will not pay for the visit if the patient signed out AMA. Now for instance, the patient went to the ED and left AMA there, what is the DX code?? I looked even at the V codes with no luck..someone has to know the answer to this!
Thanks! Jessica

V15.81--Non-compliance with Medical Treatment. I believe there is an old Coding Clinic that recommends it.
