Wiki OP Diagnostic

[coder17]

Could someone please assist me in which direction to go?

Admitting diagnosis: atypical chest pain

Service: EKG

Test result: Borderline EKG

I understood you would have to code the test result correct?

Here I have been taught to code the admitting diagnosis - 786.59.

Same here... We would use the admitting dx.

Hi, We need to report 786.59 as the reporting dx and we cannot consider the test results unless the attending physician speaks about it...........
