1. I am new at coding in a hospital, I had been in a specialty office. When the ED dx is sore throat or pharyngitis do I really use 462 - Acute pharyngitis? 784.1 - throat pain excludes sore throat but I feel like I am changing the dx by using the acute code.
2. I know that if I get a diabetic code for neuropathy like 357.2 I need to also have 250.6x, but if I get 250.6x without a manifestation, can the 250.6x stand alone? I mean this for any of the diabetic codes with manifestation.
