Patient stated to have:

Severe persistent asthma, allergic rhinitis

How would you code this?

493.00 or 493.90 and 477.9?

Thanks

Guru,

does your encoder require the indication of specific association of the two conditions, such as, 'with or due to' for the 493.00 to be assigned? Could you clarify along these lines,please?

Many thx
