I have a radiology oncology practice where they are stating in the documentation that there is no evidence of disease. (NED) after treatment is complete. According to AAPC article, when there is no evidence left we would code history of. One of the providers today told me that she was instructed to use the active diagnosis cancer code because they are radiology oncology and a patient with a history of cancer would not be paid because radiology oncology treats patients with cancer. (as everyone knows). I have not heard from any source that this is true so I would like to get some input from any seasoned RAD ONC coders out there.
Any information is most helpful. Thank you!
