Hi,
Does anyone have a suggestion for a diagnosis code for "history of seizure disorder"?
Thanks,
Sue
 
h/o seizure disorder

I don't usually code for history of seizure disorder. Somehow I have always felt this was a chronic condition (unless it's febrile). Even if not on medication, I would always be waiting for the next episode. If you can't get clarification and there is absolutely nothing else, I would code the 780.39, but this is a coders choice.
Anyone else?
 
780.39 is a symptom code indicating the patient is currently having a symptom of a convulsion. This is not what was stated. Use the V12.49 and the V58.83 and the V58.61. Do not give the patient a dx or symtoms they do not have just to keep from using the V codes.
