Question related to HIT and a DVT
Hello all,
I have a physician who is deeply upset as his patient developed HIT postop and now has a DVT.
He feels the DVT is related to the postop heparin and does not want to be "dinged" for a HAC DVT when the final coding is done.
I would enjoy some advice on how I can coach him.
Thank you
