Outpatient Lab Encounters - Diagnosis coding

Messages

Location
Leon, IA
In my prior role of outpatient coder, we were taught to code from provider encounters within the last year if documentation supports ordering lab work for a specific diagnosis(es). In my role of auditor now, I am trying to find documentation to support this practice, but I do not find guidelines to state this through many resources I have searched. Can anyone help with this please?
