Do providers need to specify dx codes when they provide orders for dme or home care services? I have been told that a dx code does NOT need to be on orders by a manager who is not a coder. I feel that this is incorrect.

The code number does not need to be on orders or requisitions for services requested. Th important part is the rendered diagnoses and the service or item requested.
The diagnosis does yes but it should not be the code number. It should state diabetes type 1 with mono neuropathy not E10.41.
