Hi All,
I know for vascular dementia you need to "code first any underlying physiological condition or sequelae of cerebrovascular disease", and I have one specific and one general question about this.
1) Are you able to use a history of TIA diagnosis code as the "first coded" diagnosis?
2) Is there a list somewhere of the possible physiological conditions/sequelae of cerebrovascular diseases?
Edited to add:
There is a list of underlying physiological conditions in F02 category. Can these physiological conditions also be used for F01, or no? Wasn't sure if they needed to be vascular physiological conditions or not.
Thank you!
