Hello,
Should 518.81 be coded along with VDRF? (V46.11) If the the doctor does not document respiratory failure with VDRF, I only code V46.11. Is this correct?

Thanks!

VDRF- means Ventilator Dependent Respiratory Failure
I have always posted acute or chronic respiratory failure; then the V46.11 for
Ventilator dependence.
