I need some clarification. I was told that when the patient has CHF with Diastolic Dysfunction it codes as current so 428.0 and 428.32. I found this in the coders Desk Refrence pg 417 paragraph 2. My Auditor disagrees and said i should be using 428.30 (unspecified).

I believe that since CHF is a chronic disease and MR shows "with" that they could be linked therefore the dysfunction should also be chronic??

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank You
