Hi Everyone:
We are having a little dispute in our office amongst us coders and I was just wondering if anyone out there had any insight.
I have always coded V58.69 for long term use of any medication not covered under the other 5th digit classifications. I am now being challenged on this and being told this code only covers High Risk Medications.
Any thoughts on this? Has this situation risen in your practices? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much!
