Patient had lobe excised 12/27/18. Saw the Pulmonologist 2/19 who referred patient to Oncology for adjuvant chemotherapy but stated not sure patient was a candidate due to comorbidities. Saw Oncologist 3/19 and he documented cancer was excised and because of the type of cancer no need for adjuvant chemotherapy. Question: Can the February note be coded as active disease? Since the patient is still in the postop period? Any source would be appreciated. Thank you!
