Hello,
My co-workers and I have a couple questions:
1) Do we always code the long-term use of insulin with Type 1 Diabetes? If not, when do we code long-term insulin with Type 1, if ever?
2) When the provider documents "uncontrolled", "poorly controlled", "not controlled", etc... diabetes, do we always assume it is "Hyperglycemia", unless specified as "Hypoglycemia". We are very confused at the wording of the guidelines.
Thanks a million, everyone!!!!
 
Diabetes poorly controlled

Hello,
I just reviewed a training through the coding clinic and they indicate "poorly controlled" uncontrolled and not controlled would be coded to diabetes with Hyperglycemia.:)
