Hello, I have a few scenarios that I would like some help with sequencing of dx codes
1 -If a patient comes in and is dx with Sepsis with COVID would the following sequence be correct? A4189 then U071?
2 - If patient presents and is symptomatic with fever, cough and the test results are unknown, does the Z20828 go first or last in the sequencing?
3- If patient presents with symptoms with no dx of COVID would the Z20828 only be applied if the provider documents contact with/exposure? otherwise only the symptoms are coded.
I appreciate any guidance that can be provided.
