Pulmonary fibrosis vs pulmonary granuloma – coding guidelines are not clear and it seems as if the provider documents lung granuloma, the coding guidelines may direct the us to use J84.10 – which in fact is the code is for pulmonary fibrosis and clinically pulmonary fibrosis is an extensive diseases causing respiratory failure and restrictive lung diseases which is very different form the lung granuloma

Can anyone help with this topic?
