A new doctor in one of the practices I code for only use the terms controlled or uncontrolled to decribe HTN in the clinic notes. I have tried to explain the use of the terms benign and malignant but he won't change. Are the terms interchangeable? I have always been told no they aren't, does any body have any input or a place to fing guidelines on it. I have looked but found nada!
Thanks!:confused:

no, malignant and not controlled are not the same thing. Unless it is stated as benign or malignant it is coded to 401.9.

Not going to be a problem anymore in ICD-10 Benign and malignant code to the same code!

See-icd 10 can be a GOOD thing.
