CCO Admin asked:
I thought with risk adjustment that you follow the First Code or Additional code instruction but AAPC says codes can be sequenced in any order for CRC.
Answer:
I am not certain nor have I heard anything about this regarding their exam. In the real world of coding; you would still follow the coding guidelines and sequencing of diagnoses. I would focus on the topics covered on the exam. Also; do you know who you spoke to at AAPC regarding this information?
