Where can I find in writing that the diagnosis codes used for billing must be identical in patient's progress notes?? I need to prove my point to my employer. Thanks!

The code selected by the coder for the claim does not need to match a code number selected by the provider in the progress note. It must however match up to the diagnosis rendered by the provider and documented in the progress note. The provider is not to use a diagnosis number in lieu of a rendered diagnostic statement. This is stated in the 2012 first quarter coding clinic .
