Resolved History codes

[MeaganR_61337]

I am currently coding a an ED chart which has documented the patient has a history of PEs; however, they were found to have a PE during the same encounter. Would it be appropriate to code Z86.711, Personal history of PE? Thank you.

Personal history codes explain a patient’s past medical condition that no longer exists and is not receiving any treatment, but that has the potential for recurrence, and therefore may require continued monitoring.
