For those who have the ICD-10 CM code set training manual and/or online course.

Can someone please explain to me why Renal Calculus would not be considered a code to bill for the scenario given if the treatment is still considered active as the note indicates.

I am not understanding why it is left out when she was recently seen in the E.R. for it and the treating physician on this follow up visit is instructing her to still strain her urine.

Thank you for your input. Appreciate it.

I'm not entirely sure which question you're referring too but I can't out of good ethics answer this as that question is part of the Proficentcy test.
 
Thanks for responding . i am questioning the accuracy and completeness of the allowed codes in this codeset training manual . It is a concern because we are being taught a new way to code with icd 10 and a key theme is specificity.
Case 1-the first coding scenario. I am not on the forum to discuss the answers just tobetter understand the method used to decide what is a key diagnosis in a given coding scenario.
