I'm coding an encounter for a patient that came in for temporary disability paperwork plus foot pain. The doctor for diagnoses put, work stress, insomnia and depression related to work stress, and pain in foot. I'm thinking it should be coded as Z02.71 (encounter for disability paperwork), Z56.6 (other physical and mental strain related to work), and M79.671 (R foot pain). Is it okay for me to code it this way since he didn't put down disability exam as a dx?
Thanks!
Thanks!
