I agree no visit, it was not requested by the parent that a visit for symptoms be performed and there is nothing to suggest an abnormal finding while administering the injections.
 
Coding scenario Help!

Hi:

Can someone please help me with this scenario, please?

This 53 year old male with emphysema, previous lung transplant 2 years ago, was admitted with history of elevated temperature of 101 degrees with associated malaise, fatigue, and headache. The patient continued to have temperature elevations after admission. He was started on intravenous ganciclovir and intravenous impipenem. Blood and urine cultures wer basically nondiagnostic. He underwent a bronchoscopy for bronchoalveolar lavage from his left transplanted lung, which did not show any evidence of viral or bacterial pathogens. The BAL was performed by washing out the alveolar tissue in order to obtain alveolar tissue for diagnosis. Blood CMV infection. He has had a persistent cough, and microscopy confirmed the presence of pulmonary tuberculosis. The physician documentation shows the infiltrating pulmonary turberculosis and CMV are HIV related. Patient was treated with ethambutol. What codes are assigned?

I know there should be (4) diagnosis codes, (1) V code and (1) procedure code.

I have code 011.03, pulmonary tuberculosis, 078.5 or 042 for the CMV/HIV,
492.8 for emphysema and 33.27 for my procedure code.

I need the V code, which I believe it will be for the history of the elevated temperature with associated malaise, fatigue and headache, but I can not find a code for it.

Can someone please assist me please? Thanks
 
There is no V code for hx of fever. You can code 780.61 with underlying condition primary. Or if there is no specified condition that's causing fever code 780.60.

Actually I think the V code is regarding the lung transplant as that information is helpful because of the Emphysema DX.
