Sequela Help and clarification appreciated!
Pt has prior TBI resulting in seizure disorder. Guideline state that there is no time limit for sequela.. seizure disorder is being evaluated with no other mention of TBI. In risk adjustment coding, would the TBI still be captured without it being evaluated? I’m very torn on this as I know It itself is not being treated but there is no timeline for sequela and the seizure disorder is the sequela, so wouldn’t both be captured? I do not see how this would be treated differently than a residual effect of a stroke. Any clarification on this is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
