Wiki Acronym "RAD"

[Alisa Dinneen]

Can anyone in Family Practice tell me what they would code for a diagnosis if their doctor wrote "RAD"?

Thank you,
Alisa

Wondering if it could be Reactive Airway Disease which is another term for Asthma.

Thank you for the possibility. We do have the question out to the doctor but have not heard back, yet, so I thought I would do some investigating in the mean time!

If you look up disease, reactive airway - it states see Asthma

I have seen reactive airway disease documented as RAD...and agree it codes to asthma.
