In the inpatient setting, patient was principally tx for CVA, however, after study (4 CT's, 1 MRI) every one of them were unremarkable for a cerebral infarction. He was tx with Tenteplase, but again, after study the patient was negative for stroke. The patient also had documented left sided hemiparesis. Can this be coded as the primary? Other dx ruled out were Bell's Palsy. All I have left it seems is weakness (R-cde) and Hemi-(G81.94)
