I am unsure how to code a dx of schizoaffective disorder, chronic, in remission. The 5th digit is either chronic, or in remission, but not both. What is the appropriate way to code this dx? Do I code both?

Hey,

As per the defination of Remission, Remission is the state of absence of disease activity in patients known to have a chronic illness that cannot be cured.

So, I think 295.75 is the appropriate one.

Hope this helps!!! :)
