How would the following text be coded?
Smokeless tobacco: Current User
At first I thought it would F17.220 – chewing tobacco dependence – but then I was thinking that chewing tobacco is just one type of Smokeless tobacco so maybe this isn’t specific enough to code F17.220??
I’m also thinking F17.290 – other tobacco product dependence?
Or do I have to resort to using Z72.0?
I have a lot of charts with this documentation – any help would be much appreciated. :confused:
