In the assessment it states: Pulmonary Embolism as unchanged.---The support I found for this was that the member had a CTA of the chest on 7/12/20 , states Secondary branch PE right lower lobe pulmonary artery. Small Pleural effusion. The CTA was performed 26 days before the follow up 08/06/20. So to me I feel this is still an active condition,( and the member is also on Elquis) , It was coded as I26.99. and not I26.93. So here are two questions?
Or would you code it at all?
What is the longevity of when a PE is considered Active condition vs History condition?
