re-dxs
this is what there note says, sorry for the length..
cc follow-up chronic conditions and meds, HPI established 68 year old female wants back on byetta, the victoza causes gas and she doesn;t want to take it, she has an appointment to see nephrology 6/4/10
exam: wt 196, bp 135/83, p 95, t98 rbs 211, (there is more but nothing stating the ckd is due to dm or htn)
assesment: dm, ckd, htn, med mangmnt, hyperlipidemia. plan return for labs, followup in 3 months.
Now i took this off of partb news discussion forum but question was on the CEMC code a rounds from the AAPC and there answer was 25000, 5859, 4019, and 2724..
so I really don't know what to think on this, like I said earlier I have always coded the htn and ckd as 40390 and 5859 unless of course it is stated that the cause was the dm..
thank you everyone for all the help..
I sometimes (alot lately) start thinking I don't really know what I am doing, I use to be so confident and now I don't know and not only because of this issue but of others as well in the coding of dx's so thanks again for any and all help it is really appreciated..alice
