    Wiki Coding for sore throat/pharyngitis

    When a provider orders a strep test and reports dx code R07.0 (pain in throat) and then the strep test comes back positive so the provider also assigns J31.2 (chronic pharyngitis) should the diagnosis R07.0 be removed from the visit note? I know these 2 codes cannot be billed together, however...
