Wiki Elevated INR

[kyannekis]

If a patient is taking Coumadin as directed and their INR comes back extremely elevated what dx codes would be used to code this?

 

[ens555]

Consider adverse effect. R79.1 Abnormal coagulation profile T45.515- Adverse effect of anticoagulants

 

[MargoR]

Is this for Coumadin management??
We used DX Z79.01 Long term (current) use of anticoagulants
of course you will need to confirm with payers for medical necessity. LCD's, NCD's etc..
