76 year old morbidity obse white male, was admited
1) what is the error and what impact foes it have on remburesement?
2)What action might need to be taken to justifay your conclusion
1. The error happened here is this case is coded as Z87.891 diagnosis code in the secondary codes which is actually a code for nicotine dependence. This cannot be reimbursed because it indicates that patient is having a personal history of nicotine and insurance cannot be reimbursed as his situation is because of his addiction.
2. In this case it clearly shows that patient had stopped smoking from past 1 year and is not on current use.
So correction to be made in the code. Add CPT codes of 99046 or 99047 which states patient became symptomatic with nicotine use or diagnosis code as Z72.0 should be added that Nicotine dependent disorder.
Smoker rates and non smoker reimbursed rates will be differed and according to the time periods of the insurance registered.
