Please help...
Can anyone clarify if we are allowed to give credit if the documentation states NKDA or is it specifically states what the allergy is. I have consulted with co-workers on this and we are trying to find were it is documented that we can give credit in that area. We did find documentation stating that you can not give credit unless the physician documents "negative". If they only document NKDA or if that just state what the patient is allergic to with out the status “patient currently having no reactions" ,we are not allowed to give credit.
