Wiki Past History

[Mindy Davis]

I'm new to ED coding and I have heard that we can not use past history for DX. So I just want to double check and see if this is correct..

Thanks

You cannot use past hx as a primary dx. Hx only reported if pertinent to the encounter. You should have a Chief complaint or you can refer to signs and symptoms. Hope this helps.

Yes it does. I like to have 4 DX and I know to use the CC and signs and symptoms.



Thank You!!
