I am new to pain management coding and was informed to play close attend when coding hospital consults.. I was told that the doctor wont get paid if I coded the reason for the pain (meaning if the patient just has back surgery and I coded stenosis as the pri dx ). He stated for his bill to get paid I would have to code some type of chronic pain bc of his speciality . Is this true?
