Hi,

I need a coding help!

Patient arrived after a fall. Has a history of traumatic subdural hemorhage (before one month).
Evaluated and find out the reason for fall is that chronic subdural hemorrhage. In the previous visit nothing done for that SDH because the patient is not ready to do any surgery or draining for SDH. So the SDH is still there. Can we code the chronic subdural hemorrhage as traumatic since it's the same one in the history (traumatic SDH)?

Thanks in advance for any help...
