Hello,
Do we assume linkage between DM and Chronic renal insufficiency if the provider just states under the Assessment 1. DM
2. Chronic renal insufficiency
renal insufficiency indexes to N28.9
CRI indexes to N18.9 same as CKD so can a coder assume linkage between DM and Chronic renal insufficiency?
Thank you
