Wiki Need dx code-I NEED A DX CODE

I NEED A DX CODE FOR " HISTORY OF SYNCOPE." PT ONLY HAD ONE EPISODE OF SYNCOPE.

THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE

Is this being treated?

Did the patient come in to see doctor for an episode of syncope? Then just code the syncope.

I do not code "history of" unless it is directly related to the care being provided at THIS visit.

Hope that helps.
