Question: How is everyone coding DM and Hyperlipidemia. Are you coding them separate as E11.9 & then E78.2 (if it’s mixed) or are you coding them as E11.69 & then the E78.2.
Most providers are just stating pt has DM then they state pt has Hyperlipidemia.
I find conflicting info as to whether you can code as the E11.69 for DM w/ other complication or if you should not.
How is everyone else out there in the coding world handling this?
