Good day all!
I am still a apprentice coder and would appreciate some advise/input on assigning Dx for EKG's (results).
I have two coders (one audited my encounters) that we need to assign Dx for definitive results. Would anyone have a list of definitive Dx for these results or can advise (I have my own but some are little harder to determine) for example Prolonged QT is considered not definitive but long QT is (this is what one coder told me? I have assigned I45.81 to Prolonged QT now this needs changed?) I have another example of where the auditor told me to assign R94.31 according to the following result : Sinus rhythm Borderline T abnormalities, inferior leads (I went with what is on the order with was R42); the other coder agreed that that result was not definitive.
I just want to make sure I am understanding these results and orders.
I would greatly appreciate any feedback !
Kind regards,
SA91.
