I need to know what the correct coding guideline is for the following example:
pt comes in ear pain still going on, in exam portion of progress note, physician states effusion/redness of ear, but on his dx: only writes persistant OM? What code is appropriate, and where can I find the guidelines that state how the physician writes his dx is how you have to code?
