Wiki Combined congestive heart failure

[dje10008]

If a provider documents
I50.21-Acute systolic congestive heart failure and
I50.31-Acute diastolic congestive heart failure

Can a coder automatically combine that to I50.41 Acute combined sysolic and diastolic congestive heart failure?

Yes, if there is a combination code, we are to use it per the ICD-10 guidelines.
