Hello
I am a new coder and would appreciate clarification on a dx.
Doctor see's pt in hospital as professional provider. 1 day he states dx to be bullous emphysema (492.0) and then the next day he states dx is Diffuse severe emphysema (492.8). Do I continue to bill each different dx listed on each note or can I bill the 492.0 because that is more specific and has been stated as dx on the previous day and pt is in hospital?
Thank you.
