When the outpatient provider uses "consistent with" DX we use signs and symptoms but do they still get credit for the suspected diagnosis when levelling the service. Ex. Exam is consistent with asthma exacerbation so we code cough. An asthma exacerbation is a moderate problem but cough would not be. Do they get credit for asthma exacerbation. I code for urgent care centers and a lot of the providers use unconfirmed language and I've always given credit for the unconfirmed condition. I hope I'm correct. Any info would be appreciated.
