so what are your thoughts on Pediatric patients and smoking status?
example: 8 mo old w/ bilateral ear infection (of any sort) - do you code no exp to smoke or exp to secondhand smoke?
example: 17 year old with URI - do you code smoking sts or exp to smoke (positive or negative)?
thx for your replies, and if in guidelines, can you direct me - the only thing I found was yes, code it....
