Hey everyone, just out of curiosity what are you using for bilateral foot pain and bilateral metatarsalgia? I know the specificity is for example M79.671 for the right foot and M79.672 for the left on the pain diagnosis, however does anyone know of the bilateral code as it is not listed in the coding books? Furthermore, when a doctor refers to these diagnosis' in the patient chart we're being told by our EHR provider that the coder is to be defaulting the code to the right foot to cover bilateral billing. Is this a common practice that I should be doing? Thank you all for your help.
