Hello,
Is anyone else having issues with the new PASRR rules and coding depression? Since the descriptor for F32.9 reads major depressive disorder that is a flag on their end. All we are getting is "depression" from the provider, or they have recently been writing "mild depression" thinking that we could use F32.8, but that would still be coded as F32.9 unless they wanted to change it to "unhappiness." Curious what everyone else is doing? Thank you!
