I am having an issue with dx 250.02, the notes do not state the diabetes is uncontrolled so I have been confirming with the providers it is uncontrolled and if so to state that in the note. I am getting some resistance on them stating 'uncontrolled' if they ran labs that came back abnormal that date, they think the results from lab documents and supports the uncontrolled dx. Am I wrong in thinking it should state uncontrolled, as the 5th digits 0 and 1 should be chosen when 'not stated as uncontrolled' ???
Any thoughts are most appreciated.
