Hi i have a question re: coding outpt hosp. Pt's BP is controlled by meds. Triage nurse circles HTN on admit sheet And there is a Hx of BP meds listed in EHR. Do you code 401.9 and CC or only CC? Guidelines state if pt is on BP meds even if no sign of high BP currently it must be coded as 401.9 . This can alter the state the way a pt is treated.
