I have a patient that came to the ER and the Dr's DX is Bronchitis with bronchospasm and his symptoms starte a week ago, would this be considered ACUTE CODE 466.0?
 
chron·ic
adj \ˈkrä-nik\
Definition of CHRONIC
1
a : marked by long duration or frequent recurrence : not acute <chronic indigestion> <chronic experiments>

Since the time frame mentioned in our post is only a week, I believe that is considered acute. :eek:)
