I'm looking for some opinions, please. What do you think of coding "pre-ulcerative callus" on a diabetic patient as 709.8 "other specified disorders of skin" ? Just "callus" doesn't seem to cover it.
THANKS

Not usually. But if you think it would make a difference, I can query the doctor, or suggest it for future documentation improvement?
