Wiki Schizoaffective disorder

Can schizoaffective disorder be coded if it is only documented in the past medical history?

No. if it's not current and the MD is not managing it, I would not code it as present. If it's a history and MD states that somehow it's connected, affects pt's current condition, then I would code it as a History only.
