I'm a bit confused on this one and was hoping someone could help me out, please. One of my Drs. assessed a patient with 2 different DM codes today; is that possible? I work for a family practice, and they like throwing in some new diagnoses to either throw me off or confuse me .. this one did it to me today. The pt's Dx are:250.22; 272.2; 250.00 and 401.1.

Thank you in advance for your help!

you cannot use a code to indicated diabetes with a complication and diabetes with no complication at the same time, also you cannot state it is stated as out of control and then have a code that says it is not stated as out of control. So the big question is what was documented and then chose the codes for that , since it cannot be documented as outof control and then not stated at the same time and it cannot be documented as having a complication and then not having one at the same time. You must read the note to determine the correct codes.
