Does anyone know where I can find documentation of how to choose which dx codes to use on a claim?

My doc frequently observes cataracts/PVD/etc., but does not write anything in the assessment/plan, yet will include the cataract dx code in EMR (say for a patient here for a glaucoma followup).

The only guidelines I can find are specific to HCC coding, which state at the very least you have to show the provider has managed, evaluated, assessed, or treated the condition (MEAT). Help!
 
you can ask the doc to clarify his documentation, from my understanding you can used the dx code for whatever the pt came in for or you can code sign and symptom if any.
