Re: Coding Help

[Holly Sox, RN, RAC-C]

Deb, There is a 411 code ( I believe it is 411.1) for something like "Intermediate Coronary Syndrome".  What setting are you in, and is the acute episode resolved? It sounds like something that would  be coded for the acute hospital stay.  Do you have other cardiac diagnoses which are more relevant to your setting?

What codes are you all using for this?   Thanks, Deb Shepherd, RN,BSN
