Hello. I am wondering how other coders deal with resolved conditions. The patient came in for follow up of dermatitis. No findings on exam. Plan states diagnosis as dermatitis (L30.8) resolved. Patient will return prn. I have also seen new patient visits where the patient came in with a chief complaint of a condition but in the HPI and exam there are no findings and the condition complained about has cleared up but in the diagnosis the physician has put the condition the patient came in for noting it is resolved and to return to clinic if the condition recurs. Thank you for offering your opinions/advice.
