Description
You have just received a report from the doctor’s assistant that designates the diagnoses, treatment, and lab work that was completed. However, when you attempt to match the diagnoses to the ICD10 convention, you find that you are missing some of the details. When you ask your fellow worker what you should do, she states that you should just use the generic or general codes rather than worry about being too specific. What would you do? How do you handle this situation?
