Hi:
I would like to know if there is a more concrete difference between -50 and Rt and Lt? There are some questions that refer to "both arms" and the choices could be -50 or left arm and right arm.
By bilateral, is it considered like 2 eyes, 2 kidneys, 2 ears, 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 feet, 2 eyelids or just when they mention the word "bilateral" ?
When is the use of right and left if the injury or operation is in both?
Does AAPC has a more specific site where I can find answers to this kind of questions? If I go to the Forums and they give different answers, who is the real authority in this kind of questions?
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
