I have a pt that was sent to the ER because her doctor called her and told her she had been injected with one of the contaminated vials that is causing the fungal mengitis.
The ER doc did a spinal tap on her and she did not have the fungal meningitis. What expsoure code would I use?
The fungus is NOT communicable. The fungus is exserohilum rostratum. I was looking at the V87.39 to use.
I am just needing anyone's input on this, not sure this is right. I looked on the internet and I haven't been able to find any coding rules on how to document the exposure of this.
Thanks for your help
