I need clarifcation if the way my provider is documenting arthritis for the knee is acceptable or not. The chart note will state Arthritis of the Right knee, along with the Dx M17.11, which is Primary Osteoarthritis of the right knee. It's my understanding that the type of arthritis should be stated to support M17.11 in the note. Am I incorrect or over thinking this?
