Wiki HCC query cerebral palsy:

[siddharthaqa@rediffmail.com]

Can we code cerebral palsy (G80.9) from past medical history without MEAT or any other congenital disease which has HCC value directly from past medical history without MEAT? G80.9 has an HCC value.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

You'll need to check your project-specific guidelines.

I've worked on projects where you could add it. However, I've also worked on projects where I'd be required to show MEAT.

We work for medicare insurance only (outpatient), no project-specific guidelines given.

 

[second to none]

it's a chronic condition and you can code it from PMH without MEAT
