Wiki CAD Dx code

[kumeena]

As per PCP documentation's diagnosis are CAD and S/ P CABG

Can I code 414.01 and V45.81 or It should be 414.00 and V45.81

Thank you

If the MD was not more specific, I would use the second choices.

If the provider documents CAD w CABG, the correct coding is 414.00 and V45.81
