Our providers want to give the dx 487.1 to patients that have flu like symptoms but have negative tests. The description of 487.1 is influenza with other respiratory manifestations so we would be reporting cases of the flu that are not actually positive cases. Am I thinking correct here?
So, they want a dx for flu like illness is this the ARI 465.9 or do we report other viral infection 079.99 or the signs and symptoms? I am so confused.
