What documentation would you expect to see when using V58.69 - Long-term (current) use of other medications? Would you accept documentation of a lengthy list of medications? Or would you expect to see the length of time that the patients were on the medications?
 
Per Coding Clinic 4th Quarter 2002, There is no definition or time frame for long term. If a patient receives a drug on a regular basis and has multiple refills available for a prescription then it is appropriate to document long-term drug use. This documentation is at the discretion of the health care provider.
