I code the professional portion for EKG's. The reading will state, for example, "septal infarct (cited on or before 2/25/15)." The date that the ekg was done would be 2/25. It's not telling me if it's acute or old MI. I've querried the physicians and they said there wasn't an ekg to compare it to so they can't pin point a more accurate time frame. Sometimes I can find more information in previous documentation but not always. I haven't been coding this at all because there has always been something else to cover the ekg. However my coding educator thinks I should capture this but we don't know what code to use. Any suggestions?

Thanks.
