Wiki multiple diagnosis code help

[ggparker14]

Can I please get help with diagnosis codes? The final dx codes documented are hypertensive urgency, CHF, hypothyroidism, hupertension, diabetes mellitus, GERD, edema, CAD, hyperlipidemia, ischemic nephropathy with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis, accelerated secondary hypertension.

My question is should this hypertensive urgency and accelerted secondary hypertension be coded together? Also, is 440.1 a correct diagnosis code to submit for ischemic nephropathy with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis?

thank you for any help.

Hcc codes

How would you HCC code your example. I'm trying to learn HCC coding.

I agree with the above answer, but you would not code the edema. It is a s&s of CHF.
