When dyslipidemia or hyperlipidemia is documented without any more specificity, what is the correct code?
ie E78.49, E78.2 or another one?
I thought E78.5 was no longer in use and would cause a denial. Is this true?
Thanks

You code to match the documentation not to avoid a denial. Without further specificity in the documentation the code can only be unspecified so yes E78.5 is correct for the diagnosis as you have it stated.
