Wiki Someone please verify my coding to prove a point

[Love Coding!]

Patient with Chronic Kidney Disease 3 , with benign hypertension, along with diabetic nephropathy NOS. Currently on insulin, diabetes type II controlled. This patient is being seen by a nephrologist for chronic kidney disease. How would you sequence the codes?

I would code as:

1. 403.90
2. 250.40
3. 583.81
4. 585.3
5. V58.67

Thank you

I think 403.10 better fits the HTN.

i think 403.10 better fits the htn.

thank you, i meant to place 403.10 for "benign". How did the rest of the codes look to you in your opinion?

I would personally put number 4 as number 2.
