Hi All,
I'm coding for a skilled nursing facility, and on the discharge summary from the hospital, it has a diagnosis listed as suspected. I know that on a discharge summary a suspected diagnosis can be coded as an active diagnosis. So does that then mean that I can code the suspected diagnosis as an active diagnosis on admission at the skilled nursing facility?
Thanks for your help!!
