Does anyone have any experience with ED departments coding chronic conditions (both HCCs and non-HCC diagnoses) based on the provider pulling in the "Patient Medical History" into their note?
My concern is that I don't see the diagnoses being supported by any MEAT documentation. I also see them coding items as active even though the provider note says "history of".
I am having trouble finding documentation in the coding guidelines to support my teaching of it has to MEAT the diagnosis and "history of" infers that a diagnosis is in the past (resolved).
Thank you in advance for your guidance!
