Emergency Department Visits Diagnoses Medical Coding Guidelines

Emergency Department Visits Diagnoses Medical Coding Guidelines https://www.cco.us/cpt-2016-updates Q: Are Emergency Department visits diagnoses which state “suspected,” “presumed,” etc., to be coded following the inpatient or outpatient guidelines? That is, are coders to follow inpatient guidelines of “confirmed” if the patient is admitted through the ED to Observation/Inpatient status and use the outpatient guidelines of “not confirmed” if the patient is discharged from ED to home? Can you please give me directions on this? A: That is a great question. When we take a look at this, a couple of things to remember, the question confused a few things: you got to remember what areas of the hospital are considered outpatient hospital departments. Both the Emergency room and Observation status, even if the patient is “admitted” to observation, that is still considered an outpatient part of the hospital. Those outpatient departments are required to follow the Section IV guidelines in the ICD-10 manual. Those are the guidelines for Diagnostic Coding and Report Guidelines for Outpatient Service.
