Good afternoon all. Reviewing our Infectious Disease notes and their documentation for AIDS is very poor at my facility. We're educatiing our providers on the fact that outpatient coders cannot code 042 (AIDS) solely from a documented CD 4 count in their progress notes. The Inpatient Supervisor and some of the providers disagree so I'm looking for a source document to prove our point on the outpatient side.
Can you back me up and send me what ever you have on this issue?
Thank you!
