How does a pulmonary embolism w/out infarction get coded? The documentation specifically indicates "no infarction" but the claim was coded with 415.11. I partially think 415.0 is more correct, especially because the patient did develop pulmonary HTN but the provider never documented "acute cor pulmonale", just "pulmonary embolism". Thoughts?! Thanks.
