I'm just checking as in normal coding we would pick up the dx from the lab, radiology and path, but am I correct that in HCC you don't pick up those dxs?

Can someone also tell me.....which documents in HCC coding you do pick the dx up?

I am not finding any resources for HCC coding.

Thanks in advance.:rolleyes:

HCC coding is still DX coding. If you are coding for the PCP your physician needs to docuemnt the findings of the Lab or Radiology provider. A coder should not code from these reports in the PCP setting.
