Please help. I have never heard this before, but I am being told you can code a diagnosis from the Past Surgical and Medical History even though it is not address in the documentation. I was told that this information is in the ICD-9 Guidelines for Coding and Reporting and I am not able to find this information. If I am missing something or if someone can help me find this information I would be soooooo grateful.
As always Thanks for everyone's help
