Guidelines for when to include long term use of a drug code
I just seem to be completely unable to wrap my head around when to code for a long-term drug in a visit. Does someone have a clear answer? 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!

Coding patient with long term history of Chewing Betel Nut
I did some research and, basic find is that,
-it is popular in Asia / Pacific Region
-causes Oral Cancer
-on one site http://www.livestrong.com/article/12…l-nut-chewing/ it states it’s a "psychoactive product"
Can I use F19.20 Other psychoactive substance dependence, uncomplicated?
What’s throwing me off is that it is a nut from a tree (cultivated) and not manufactured / synthetic (like heroin).
Your time and suggestions are much appreciated.

Medical Term Paper
Medical term paper writing and the writing of any other medical academic papers such as medicine essays constitutes a big share of scholarly writing that students in the medical field have to undergo whilst in college. The complexity of academic writing and the lengthy time required in the development of medicine essays as well as other academic papers makes the writing of academic papers a difficult task that may require a lot of time, keenness and devotion to extensive research. This is more basic in the medical field because medicine essays are meant to deal with facts from research that should be proven beyond doubt. Assumptions, assertions and postulations need to be well substantiated and supported based on well grounded research findings and facts. Many at times students experience a lot of difficulties in the actual writing of their medicine essays. These complications may arise from the fact that the students may lack know-how in the field of research, and as such they may be unable to conduct their own personal research. On the other hand, the students may be unable to spare time form their busy academic schedules to the activities of writing their own medicine essays.
