We are an Onoclogy speciality office - Our physician documented in the initial consult note what the family history is, and doesn't document family history in the current note, can we code the family history dx codes on the current claim. I am under the impression that because the family history doesn't change, and the physician documented in the initial consult note, but just didn't document in the current encounter, (follow up visit) that we can use the family history diagnosis code. Because we are an Oncology speciality, the family history dx codes are very important.
any help with this is greatly appreciated.
thank you
