    Wiki Coding Falls Without Injury

    A hospital inpatient falls, but does not incur any injury or other problems as a result of this fall. What primary diagnosis code would you use? Would you use ICD-10 diagnosis code R29.6? Thank you for your suggestions!

    Wiki Contrast Nephropathy

    I am not sure which ICD10 code is to be used for Contrast Nephropathy. I have looked at N99.0 and N14.1 and do not know which category this falls into. Does anyone know the correct coding for this? Thank you

    Wiki fall codes

    When a person falls and has been treated at the ER and then follows up with their family dr should the fall be used as initial encounter? If a person falls and not specific to where the patient fell is it ok to submit the claim without the place where it happened?
