Good morning all.
I am new to this site and placed this question in the wrong category. I apologize.
Here is the question again:
Can anyone tell me if there is a timeframe when a 'remission' code would become a 'history of' code. An example would be alcohol abuse (305.03 - Nondependent alcohol abuse - in remission) vs (V11.3 Personal history of alcoholism). I cannot find anywhere in the guidelines that explain when to use these type of codes. If anyone could guide me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
