Hello,

I have a question regarding the use of status codes in outpatient coding. I have encountered conflicting guidance and would appreciate clarification.

Can status codes be reported as the primary or sole diagnosis code, or are they required to be assigned secondary to a primary diagnosis code?

Thanks in advance!
