Wiki Pulmonary Vascular Congestion

[FLSJarrel]

When assigning a diagnosis code, is pulmonary vascular congestion the same as congestion, lung 786.9? I am an apprentice coder, coding for a cardiologist, & would be grateful for some help--Thanks.

Yes, that is right it is the same as congestion, lung so you can use 786.9.
