Hello everyone,
I see professional and hospital claims, I know in the professional side we do not code "suspected or rule out", . I came accross a couple of claims, where the DX used 771.81, then 2-days later lab work shows no Sepsis, but the facility keeps the 771.81 DX. Has anyone seen this before and is this acceptable?
