EM code 99213 w/ dx of "Hospital f/u - Pneumonia; Dehydration". Do I use only V67.59 Follow-up examination - Unspecified follow-up examination? No indication if pneumonia and dehyration are resolved. Same thing w/ dx of "F/U UTI", "F/U otitis media" "F/U ER visit". Thanks!
 
You would need to determine whether the pneumonia and dehydration are resolved or still being treated to code this correctly. V67 codes are to be used "only following COMPLETED treatment".
