Hello,
I am looking for an answer to this question. In regards to inpatient services, does anyone know if Medicare (Noridian, Palmetto, Trailblazer) has a rule when it comes to using symbols (+ -, ↑, ↓ ) to describe the patients diagnosis with out writing out the diagnosis, examples below... are these acceptable to use? Would anyone know where I can find answer to this? Thank you!
Hyperpotassemia - ↑ K
Hypertension - ↑ BP
Hypotension - ↓ BP
