I have never coded CHF exacerbation as acute CHF, however I am getting pushback on this. How do you all code CHF exacerbation?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you ThomasI agree with you, 'exacerbation' does not mean 'acute', and I wouldn't interpret it that way either. I would push back and ask whoever is challenging you on this to provide you with a reference.
Thanks Nicole. Sorry for the initial confusion.agree
