Can I please get your help for appropriate diagnosis codes for the following circumstances?
Patient comes into ED in police custody to take their own meds while being observed. Physician's final dx: medical monitoring encounter. What would be an appropriate diagnosis code for this visit?
Also, I have the same circumstance with the patient being in police custody and coming into the ED to take their meds, but the physician's final dx is medication therapy continued.
Thank you for any help.
