Hi All!
I probably just have a "bloick" from thinking about it too much, but one of my coding students asked me the following question....and I honestly am confused as to the answer, please help?
The very FIRST time a patient presents "acutely" in renal failure and is FIRST diagnosed with ESRD......and BEGINS dialysis....do you just code the ESRD or also the renal failure? Sequencing?
TY!
