I need some good critics and I know I will get them here.
Is this statement true? 1. Coders can use either medical or treatment code for diagnoses; and they can use both if provided. 2. No where does it say OT and PT can't use the same diagnostic code (medical or treatment ICD codes). 3. The duplication of skilled services can be determined by looking at treatment plan and goals. 4. Using the same diagnostic code, doesn't mean duplication of services. Some examples: CVA, Arthritis, diabetes neuropathy, low back pain, etc. Thank you for the information.
