Wiki s/p MI

How would I code status post MI? There isn't anything under status post but have been told there is a code.

old MI

You can use 412....but read it....is the patient having symptoms?

 

[mitchellde]

It depends on timing. If the MI occurred less than 8 weeks ago you assign the 410.x code witht he 5th digit of 2, If the 8 weeks has past then you assign the 412 code.

I agree with Mitchell, but i think only when the reason for visit is for mi we should use the 5th digit as 2.
