Hi everyone. I'm in need of a little help. I'm coding an OP Radiology report and the impression is "Nonspecific bowel gas pattern may represent aerophagia versus ileus" I know I can't code the "versus" dx, but do I need to code the nonspecific bowel gas pattern at all or just use the reason the test was ordered? Would it be an abnormal result? I couldn't find an "inconclusive" code that related to this. Thanks in advance for any help.
