is pleural effusion (511.9) coded, if it is from congestive heart failure (428.0) ?
 
Yes. Many cases of pleurisy are associated with pneumonia which is always a threat to develop in persons with CHF. Most cases of pleurisy are cased by infection, viral infections or in conjunction with other diseases such as TB, kidney failure, etc.
