I am coding for physicians who see inpatients. Can I code out diagnosis that have the following statement:
“probable”, “suspected”, “likely”, “questionable”, “possible”, or
“still to be ruled out”, or other similar terms indicating uncertainty.
I know I am not allowed to code r/o for outpatients, but have been debating with my co-workers if I can code them out for outpatients?
Thanks,
