Wiki Coding "Failed Medical Therapy" for Menorrhagia

[marissatakai.chcc@gmail.com]

Hi,

Has anyone tried coming across preoperative diagnosis for, Failed Medical Therapy?

I searched, failed, therapy, medical, and menorrhagia but all were dead ends.

Your thoughts are much appreciated!

No. "This didn't work" isn't a diagnosis, except in very limited circumstances, such as "failed intubation", or "failed medical induction of labor".

Hi Sharon, that's what threw me off. I know we can code for, Failed Induction of Labor so I assumed there'd be a code for, Failed Medical Therapy.

Thank you.
