Hi there!
So, if the narrative states, "Extremities: 2+edema on the right, and 3+ on the left" do I need to stay with a single, unspecified edema code or can I better capture this using two codes under "swelling" coding the left first and then the right in order of severity?
Thanks so much for your input!
