Hi everyone I have a headache question. When is the code for post traumatic headache changed to Acute 339.21 or chronic 339.22.Is there a time frame? Thanks a lot.
 
Suzanne is correct. The coding guidelines state that acute or chronic must be stated by the provider and cannot be calculated by the coder based on time.
