Palliative Care

in Clinical & Coding
When do your coders pick up the palliative care code (Z515)? Do they only pick it up when the patient is made 'comfort care' or anytime the patient is receiving palliative care. We have a robust palliative care program that actively follows and treats our critical patients though these patients are not always ever on comfort care.

Thanks!
