I attended a seminar that the speaker states that there are some heart conditions that "never go away" and should be coded and be in the assessments in every visit, e.g. Hypertensive Heart Disease, Chronic Kidney Disease, Heart Failure, etc.
She told us we "could get in trouble" if we don't do this.
I just want to verify if this is something valid and if this something I need to speak to our busy physician about. Reminding him to put it in every encounter, even though clinically it is not the main problem for the visit?
Thanks.
