Module 3 Guidelines Part 3
Guidelines from chapter 5 for dementia indicate which is false for a coder when coding
this diagnosis:
selection of the severity level is based upon the provider's judgement.
only the highest severity level is assigned if dementia levels progress while a patient
is inpatient.
a coder cannot assign "unspecified" in any encounter.
severity levels could include mild or severe, among others.

Guidelines from Chapter 6 indicate if a patient is monoplegic and the provider indicates
the left side is affected but not if the patient is left-handed dominant or right, a coder
would
choose a monoplegic diagnosis code for non-dominant.
query the provider to determine if the patient is left- or right-handed.
choose an unspecified monoplegic diagnosis code.
choose a monoplegic diagnosis code for dominant.



Continuing with our left-side affected monoplegic example: our patient
has monoplegia of the left arm. The provider did not indicate if the
patient is right-hand or left-hand dominant. The coder would first use
which term to look up this encounter in the alphabetic
index? Monoplegia


Which code is provided in the alphabetic index for our patient with
G83.2
monoplegia of the left arm?

Referencing the guidelines to provide additional direction, what is
the full code from the tabular list the coder would assign for this
encounter based upon the information provided of monoplegia of left
G83.24
arm?

Referencing guidelines from Chapter 6:
A patient with left hip osteoarthritis had a hip replacement done. When the patient
awakens in recovery they indicate they are having a lot of pain in the left hip. How would
the coder code this information?
