Hello,

I was wondering if we are supposed to code "compatible with" diagnoses for ASC? I have heard we do and I've heard we shouldn't. Please help!!!!

Thank you!

Susan
 
Compatible with, Comparable with, consistent with, are the same types of terms that indicate uncertainty. Therefore no you may not code these in the ASC setting.
