I would appreciate some help understanding how to code for Meniscus tears that are NOT INJURIES.....
Since we don't have the old ICD-9 codes for over exertion, etc ....how would you code for ex:
S83.242A
S83.241A
Patient states knees started hurting 6 months ago....
I understand how to code this if it was an injury, but when it's not, I don't understand how I can go ahead and code it as if it were an injury, but it's not!!!!
Thanks,
Terri D.
