I'm trying to get a better grasp on ICD-10 codes for Hepatitis. I'm specifically looking for clarification on the following:
Hepatitis B surface antigen positive - Does this indicate the patient is a carrier?
Hepatitis B DNA suppressed - Does this indicate the patient is a carrier or is this coded as chronic?
Hepatitis C SVR or Hepatitis C eradicated - I am finding mixed information on coding these as chronic and personal history.
I'm hoping someone can point me to a good reference. I have been looking for solid information all week including Coding Clinics but I'm not finding that "golden reference" that will answer my questions!
Thanks in advance!
