We had a patient come to our UCC facility because of his gums were slowing bleeding after dental care. The reason his gums were bleeding is because of the blood thinner he takes due to heart disease. We coded the visit: 523.40(Chronic Periodontitis) however insurance denied this because it was a dental dx. Can anyone give me a suggestion of what they think it should have been coded in the first place?? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!!
