Have a question for the guidelines experts!!
Discussion
Assessment plan:
Diabetes with CKD-3
Hypertension
Code:
E11.22
N18.3
I10
Rationale/opion given is that the physician has linked the DM and CKD utilizing the word "with" and coding guideline for "with" should be interpreted as "associated or due to"
Similar question
Diagnosis
Diabetes with CKD-3
Hypertension
Chronic diastolic CHF
Code:
E11.22
N18.3
I11.0
I50.32
So is this the correct interpreration of the guidelines as opposed to coding?
I12.9 on the first one.
I13.0 on the second one
Thanks for the help
