Does anyone have any feedback yet on the diagnosis coding for an outpatient clinical stabilization unit. Some of our patients are transitioning from our Inpatient substance abuse detox back into society via a housing unit where the live for a period attending therapy. We have opened this new type of facility to assist in addressing the growing opiate abuse crisis. Are you using Z71.41 as your principle diagnosis? Or just the abuse/dependence code? And what type of documentation do you have to code your diags from? Thank you for any information on your experiences with this type of unit.
