On an outpatient laboratory order the DX states: Anxiety and depression - F41.8. There is no access to the physicians notes in our EMR. Should we code this as F41.8 (mixed anxiety and depression) or code the anxiety and depression separately?

Thanks
 
This was discussed in a post by davcn. You can enter that in the search box and see the discussion. In short, you would code them separately unless the provider has established a link between them. Hope this helps!
