I posted this in another thread but no one has answered yet.
I recently switched from hcc coding to inpatient. I am used to coding every page of a chart and every chronic condition. When coding an inpatient chart, do I just code for what the patient came in for? or do I also code for past medical history, personal and family history codes? I think i am spending too much time looking at the charts. Please any help would be greatly appreciated
