I just recently finished courses in medical coding & billing. It was alot of material in too short of a time. I am still learning my way around coding, so, I am very much a newbie.
Can someone please tell me which one gets coded first?
1. Acute respiratory distress due to sin nombre virus.
2. Acute empyema due to group B streptococcal infection.
I was going to code the acute resp distress first. For the second one, I was going to code the acute empyema first.
Am I right?
Thank you!
