Admitting a new patient to Hospice under the primary diagnosis of Traumatic Brain Injury. Looking for input on the seventh character. As he was already seen at the hospital for this (and is not receiving further treatment due to Hospice admission) I'm hesitant to use "A" as the seventh character. But I'm not necessarily comfortable with using "D" either because of the "routine healing" aspect as he theoretically is not healing, hence the Hospice admission. Any thoughts?
