Hello All!
I have a general diagnosis question that I am a little confused about and need a little clarification. Here is the scenario:
Patient comes in with Type II DM, controlled and has a foot ulcer. Now normally without thinking I would code 250.80 and 707.15. But here is my question, can you code these codes if the patient does NOT have hypoglycemia since 250.80 is for Hypoglycemia? Or, since 250.80 includes OTHER manifestations, is this ok?
Thank you in advance,
Andrew, CPC, CMPA, CEMC
