Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone could help me out with a code I'm a bit confused about - Pt was diagnosed with Hemiparesis as a result of cerebral hemorrhage. Do I code the cerebral hemorrhage as primary, followed by hemiparesis as 2* diagnosis or is there a combination code I should be looking for? Unfortunately, this is all the information I have on a hospital log sheet.
Thanks in advance
Anne
