When combining Body areas and Organ systems what are the rules? I have a provider selected 7 Organ systems and 1 Body area, however I thought the Body area had to state a relative Organ system: Example:
Selected Neck in the body area and documented: No swelling and no carotid bruits. (he also documented Cardiovascular in the Organ system)
Since the bruits would be associated to the Cardiovascular system and swelling is a general statement (doesn't state thyroid swelling which could be relative to the Lymph Organ system) I could not count the Body Area. Is this correct? It seems to me a lot of double dipping could occur
