I'm a little confused about the differences between 251.2 and 249.8. Does the provider need to be more specific and state that the hypoglycemia is secondary to the diabetes?
Would the following example (Diagnosis #1 and #4) be coded as:
249.80 & 250.80 OR 251.2 & 250.00 ???
1. Hypoglycemia
2. Hypotension, which may be related to the above. There is concern for an early sepsis syndrome.
3. End-stage renal disease
4. Diabetes mellitus
I look forward to your responses, thank you!
