RE: [EXTERNAL] RE: end stage CHF
I also think that a query is an option. The physician may state ‘unable to determine’ but they very well may be able to make a determination based on treatment, presentation, and comorbidities. If there would be impact on the records (DRG or SOI/ROM), I would think it would be a question worth asking.
