I am reviewing a rejected claim from Humana that says the dx code is incorrect.
This is what the chart reads:
Past Medical History:
Diagnosed with colon cancer summer 2011, followed at ***Hospital.
Problem 1: Colon Cancer (153.9)
She is followed 2 times weekly by Dr. She received chemotherapy, now is being mointored for recurrence.
As you can see, it is not very specific. I am not sure what the proper dx code would be here. I am an extern here, so any and all help would be very much appreciated!
