One of my docs is questioning how to dx code a patient that is in for f/u and the condition, i.e. OM, is resolved. Anyone have any info to clarify this? If the patient has no symptoms what ICD code would you use?
 
My understanding is that they are still being seen for the same issue whether it is resoved or not and the DX would be the same.

You can't code for a condition that is resolved. Check out a code from the V67 category for a follow-up exam. You would also use a V code for hx of OM as the secondary dx.
