Hello everyone! I am currently a coding student and came across a question I can not find online or in the forum anywhere else. My question is, what are the specific documentation is required in order to use the noncompliance codes?
If the doctor states the patient has stopped taking his coumadin due to reasons unknown to him(the patient), could you code noncompliance intentional? Or what if the doctor states patient missed his dialysis appointment, could you code noncompliance to renal dialysis, Z91.15?
Just want some clarification on when to use noncompliance codes!
Thanks!
