Where can I find the guidelines for the coder to NOT assign diagnosis(es) for an office visit based on findings in a radiology or lab report. I remember learning this, probably way back in coding class years ago, but I'm not sure where the rules/guidelines can be found related to this. I need to educate a coder that we cannot "interpret" the radiology or lab findings and assign the diagnoses this way.
If anyone can help point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
