Hi everyone how would you code if a pt comes in with nausea/vomiting and final dx is 1) dehydration 2nd to vomiting and diarrhea 2)acute renal failure how would you code this on the ER charge slip? I only ask because I would've coded w/o the vomiting/diarrhea but the other 3 coders said no that they would have coded it 78701,78791,27651, and 5849 in that order so I am starting to think maybe I am coding wrong and if so want to get it straight now than later..any and all help would be appreciated..thanks alice
