Donna Garrett asked:
Patient has Crohns disease with obstruction; has resection for same. I coded correctly; except that answer page; page 464 also gives code for Rectal Bleeding but there is no reference to rectal bleeding in our question; CRC text page 133. Answer sheet also gives detailed rationale for using Rectal Bleeding code; but still there is no reference to rectal bleeding in our question. What am I missing? Thanks; DonnaG
Answer:
This post needs to be put in the RA forum. Once you move the question to the forum I can answer your question for you.
