Good morning,
My physician dx UTI with based on urinalysis. In order to code a UTI, I must also code the bateria. Without a culture, is it appropriate to code 599.0 and 041.9? Also, if there is a culture and the results come back stating "no growth" do I code the symptoms only?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
