Guidelines for when to include long term use of a drug code

It just seems to me that if someone comes in for their CHF the drug that they are currently taking for that should be coded. But, if they aren’t in there specifically for the CHF and it is just listed as something they currently have, then you don’t code that drug, just the CHF as an active dx.

Is that anywhere close to right??

Thanks for helping out this foggy Sunday brain!
