I am assigned the coding for the neuropsychologist at our health care organization, and I have very little experience in this area. I'm having an obstacle when it comes to diagnosis coding for CPT 90791. Many of the patients in question are diagnosed with delirium, F05. This dx code requires a primary dx explaining the underlying physiological condition. Often, the provider is uncertain of the causal condition, dictating 'possible etiologies include...'. According to ICD10 guidelines, uncertain wording isn't allowed.
I am wondering if I can use R69 for uncertain morbidity as the primary dx to F05. Do you think this would be appropriate?
