Trying to get a better understanding on sequencing PT/OT dx, I am under the understanding that we code the reason patient having therapy then can list the diagnose of the referring Dr. such as follows:
Patient is having knee pain per Dr. diagnose as patella-femoral Syndrome so coding sequencing should be:
KNEE PAIN, (ICD-719.46)
PATELLO-FEMORAL SYNDROME (ICD-717.7)
Patient is having toe pain after surgery, s/p exostosis hallucis rigidus
per Dr. diagnose as HALLUX RIGIDUS (ICD-735.2) and Exostosis (ICD- 726.91) so coding sequencing should be:
CARE INVOLVING OTHER PHYSICAL THERAPY (ICD-V57.1)
Toe pain (ICD ? 729.5)
Exostosis (ICD- 726.91) Dr. diagnose
HALLUX RIGIDUS (ICD-735.2) --- Dr. diagnose
Patient is having elbow pain per Dr. diagnose as OLECRANON BURSITIS so coding sequencing should be:
ELBOW PAIN RIGHT (ICD-719.42)
OLECRANON BURSITIS, LEFT (ICD-726.33) --- Dr. diagnose
Patient is having heel pain per Dr. diagnose as PLANTAR FASCIITIS so coding sequencing should be:
HEEL PAIN (ICD-729.5)
PLANTAR FASCIITIS (ICD-728.71) --- Dr. diagnose
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks
