Hello,
Patient has Hydrosyringomyelia and provider documents that patient has worsening weakness and has ordered NCS, MRI, and labs for this weakness to make sure that there is not another underlying condition causing the weakness. Would you code the weakness in addition to the Hydrosyringomyelia even though weakness is listed as a symptom of Hydrosyringomyelia? Thank you!
