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.
 
E78.5 is still the appropriate dx is dyslipidemia NOS or hyperlipidemia NOS is what the MD diagnosis.
