Kindly suggest me the code for - History of Hypertension. Do we need to code 401.9 itself or V17.49.
My point of view is, Hypertension is a chronic disease condition which cannot be cured but can be controlled. So hypertenstion cannot be history and so code for Hx of HTN will be 401.9.
Thanks,
Shruthi.
