Hi,
I have a preparing for the CPC. I came acorss to see a scenario about HIV that is little bit confusing.
The scenario is,
A 20 year old HIV positive patient was admitted to a hospital observation bed by his PCP for stomach crapmps and diarrhea. After tests were completed, the PCP determind that the stomach cramps and diarrhea were results of staphylcoccal food poisioning.
How do we code this scenario. In this case we should code V08 or 042. Answer form an expert should be helpful for me.
