History of is when there is no evidence of disease AND pt no longer receiving treatment. So my question is with DVT/PE. The clots have resolved but pt is still taking anticoagulants. Would this now be coded as History of DVT/PE with the current use of anticoagulants? Or Chronic DVT/PE with current use of anticoagulants?

I82.509, I27.82, Z79.01

OR

Z86.718, Z86.711, Z79.01

I've always assumed history of. Need clarification.

Thank you,
Lydia
