Would you count a comorbidity as a point in number of diagnosis management options if the MD addressed it and documented. For example: pt seen for endocarditis
Problem list -
Endocarditis - Stable, source likely leg ulcer/gangrene. Currently receiving Vancomycin.
Dry gangrene/ischemic ulcer - now s/p AKA 1/25.
Leukocytosis - worse. WBC 12.7
DM - poorly controlled. Patient non-compliant with regimen at home.
Would you count DM since the MD addressed it even though he/she isn't managing it?
