Senior moment- If a pt has a history of GERD and has an EGD which finds erosive gastritis and hiatal hernia-Which diagnosis is primary,secondary and tertiary?

thanks
 
Hi, you would code what was found first, then you can add GERD as the 3rd diagnosis codes., i come across this alot and always hard to determine which is the primary code, but you have to code what is found
