I have been taught to code for classification not use. Kathy Vogt MDS Coordinator -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 11:07 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Good Monday Morning..... Or is that an oxymoron? My Mondays are the pits with all the weekend stuff that's happened. My helper has gone on to another job, and now I have to find and train another assistant. So, enough of my early morning whining!!!! I know we've discussed this subject before, but now that I'm brain dead, I need another lesson. When Benedryl is used as a hypnotic, do I code section O as hypnotic use or ignore it since it is an antihistamine? Thanks for all your help over the years. It has made my job so much easier, not only with the needed answers, but also the support of all you mds coordinators out there.
