Ok this one is driving me crazy. I know there is something about this one and cant locate a coding clinic on it.

Coding Depression unspecified with suicidal ideation

311 with V62.84 is just not seeming right to me. Is this consider a Dysthmic depression such as 300.4 with V62.84

Any input is appreciated at the moment

Thanks
 
You can only code what is documented, either quiz the provider and have the medical record amend, or code 311 & V62.84.
 
Dysthymia is a mild chronic depression, so unless the provider documented it as such, I would just code the 311 and V62.84. :)
