Hello,
Just wondering, if a diagnosis is listed under the p/a as an unspecified code and in the same note under current hospital problems it is written with more specifics, can I code to the higher specificity? see dx *** below.
I bill professional services for pts who are seen in the hospital. Also if a resident gives dx as chronic hypoxic respiratory failure and the doctor cosigns with respiratory failure, does docs dx supersede the resident dx or can I use the more specific one?
Thank you for any responses.
Assessment & Plan
Advanced sarcoidosis
***Atrial fib
Hospital Problems: Active Problems:
Acute respiratory failure with hypoxemia
Persistent atrial fibrillation
Acute on chronic diastolic congestive heart failure
Urinary tract infectious disease
Dependent edema
****Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
Non morbid obesity due to excess calories
Acute cystitis without hematuria
ILD (interstitial lung disease)
