Hi,
I had a test question that I was shocked that I did not get right.
Scenario:
Patient had lesion removed from arm, path report states cancerous.
The answer they stated is correct is to code the cancer code and 709.9 ?
Ok I have coded for a few hospitals and was always told never to do this
nor educated about this.
Did I miss something????
Thank you in advance for your reply.
