Hi Everyone,
I am really confused on how to sequence Late Effects codes. Based on the guidelines I gather you code the illness/injury first, followed by the late effect or is the late effect (present condition) coded first, followed by the past condition that caused it? Please help because I am receiving conflicting information from different sources.
Thank you![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
