Love Coding!
Expert
How do you code for 404.10? What medical criteria would the patient need to be in to support this code?
Hypertension without heart failure with chronic kidney disease stage 1-4...
Would the patient have to have some sort of cardiac history to be able to bill this code? Old MI? Etc.?
My physician is billing for this code and although the patient is CKD 3 with hypertension, there is no indication in the note to support any type of heart failure, or a history of heart problems..
Thank you..
