I just taken a Mod 8 Test / Qstn No. 1 of the Evaluation and Management Course. DX is: Onychomycosis and DM, I selected Answer C, however the online test is only accepting Answer A to be the correct answer.
However this goes against it’s Reasoning which states:
However this goes against it’s Reasoning which states:
* There was no mention of diabetic neuropathy or ulcer
* There was no documentation that the onychomycosis is a diabetic complication
* Pt. was seen for foot check, and the onychomycosis was found during this check
* Resulting this to be coded as 1st Dx: Oychomycosis B35.1 and 2nd DX: DM E11.9
Please correct this issue or explain why the system is accepting Answer A rather than Answer C. Thank you for your help.
