CC 3Q07p11 notes that FO is the PDX when due to ESRD. If non-cardiogenic acute pulmonary edema is present in these cases (J81.0), is it coded as an additional dx, PDX or not at all?

IF not stated by MD, PE and or FO will be coded as component of CHF as integral to CHF?
Dr Pinson's/ Cynthia Tang, RHIA, CCS Guide covers this very nicely....see that if you have a copy
FO is PDX if pt has no H/O CHF or evidence of CHF, or has H/O CHF and record documents the fluid overload was NON-Cardiogenc in nature OR the CHF was not acute/decompesated

Key Concepts
FO is solely 2/2 ESRD and not a Form of CHF?
Is Acute PE non-cardiogenic?
