Can renal insufficiency Stage 2 be coded 585.2?
 
renal insufficiency with stage 2

Yes, that's what I would code. If you look up insufficiency, chronic it directs you to 585.9 which is an unspecified code. Since 585.2 is under the same category/section I believe you are being more specific by assigning 585.2.
