We have been having a debate about which 7th digit should use with code: T46.6X5- when a patient has know intolerance to statin medication.
ex: Pt. came into the office 2 years ago and was found to be intolerant to this medication class. Patient came into office for routine follow up of CAD, HTN & Hyperlipidemia. MD mentions "know history of statin intolerance"
Would we use the "A". Others suggest to use the "S" because it was previously known.
The guidelines are not very clear on this, or I am just not seeing it.
Thanks for your advise on this.
