If a patient was diagnosed with covid-19 in March and gets readmitted in April and covid-19 test is negative, are we using a history of code for the positive test on April? Thanks in advance!
 
"If the provider documents that the patient no longer has COVID-19, assign code Z86.19, Personal history of other infectious and parasitic diseases." This is from the joint AHA/AHIMA Frequently Asked Questions for COVID-19.
