I'm a very new grad and have an embarrassingly stupid question...
I code for an orthopaedic physician group - when I code for their office visits and/or all services in the outpatient setting I know that I don't code for "suspected" or "possible" diagnoses.
Does that change if the physician treats a patient who has been admitted? Now that the patient is considered "inpatient" - do I now code for all suspected and possible dx's?
Thank you for your help. This is something that I should know!!!
