Hello, I have a question in regards to Risk Adjustment coding. When extracting codes from documentation, If Aspirin is in the current medication list, would you automatically code for Long Term Use of Aspirin? Have a debate in regards to this and I wanted other opinions/thoughts on this..
My personal thought is unless it states somewhere in the note or med list what the patient is taking Aspirin for, and if it is in fact long term use then we shouldn't be reporting long term use of aspirin for every patient that has aspirin on their current med list?!?!
Thank you!!
