The patient is an adult and one of the diagnosis is the above. I did a query to the provider as to identify what the patient aspirated on, The provider's response was oral secretions.
The patient also had pneumonia as one of the diagnosis listed.
I am not sure how to code the aspiration syndrome? Or would I need to query the provider?

Any suggestions please
