I feel dumb for asking, but how do I know whether to code as a new or old injury? If the history of the injury is mentioned do I code as new? Or do I just code as new if it is the first time this injury is being treated? For some reason, something isn't sticking. I still get confused on this sometimes.:confused: Any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated. I'm probably over-analyzing this and making it harder than it is. I tend to do that.
