Can severe constricting chest pain not otherwise specified in a patient with known heart disease can be coded as angina if not ruled out as non-cardiac chest pain?

Help Help Help!

Thanks! :)
 
chest pain

We always code it as 786.50 (chest pain) unless it is diagnosed as angina 411.1. Because it is still a sign/symptom.

Chest Pain

I would definately code chest pain 786.50. If the patient is not diagnose with angina. I always code what is documented.
