What code would you use for Poor Posture--my MD likes to use this a lot and I can't seem to pin point a specific code. This would be more of a symptom rather than a disease or diagnosis if that helps. The only thing that I can find and have been using is 781.99 for other symptoms involving nervous and musculoskeletal systems.
I do see 781.92 as abnormal posture but she doesn't say that it is abnormal just poor (patient slouches and causes pain in the shoulders and back, etc) she uses this mostly as the reason for the patient to go to physical therapy.
Can anyone give me any insight. Thanks
