Hi all. There is a discussion within the organization that I work on changing provider ICD10 selections. The discussion is questioning if a coder sees that the provider has documented a more specific code (like E11.42) based on their documentation but selected a simpler code for billing (like E11.9) can it be changed to the more specific code? I understand that this is possibly up to each organization to decide (personally I would query the provider), but is there any documentation around what a coder can do and what certifications allow them to make those changes?
