I'm not able to pull up the icd9 guideline website at the moment. Discrepancy in the following and need another opinion
when a diabetic manifestation diagnosis is documented is it automatically assumed the condition is "uncontrolled".
Some us say it still requires to document "uncontrolled". Some insist having the manifestation automatically puts the "diabetes" as uncontrolled.
i.e. diabetic nephropathy - would you use 250.40 or 250.42
Thank you
