Can anyone please explain this statement;
"The assignment of a diagnosis code is based on the provider’s diagnostic
statement that the condition exists. The provider’s statement that the
patient has a particular condition is sufficient. Code assignment is not
based on clinical criteria used by the provider to establish the diagnosis."
