Proper wording of physician orders

jnolan@kellwest.com · June 2016

How should a physician's order read for proper ICD-10 coding?

Is this ok?

Pre-op chest x-ray for respiratory clearance.

Pre-op chest x-ray for cardiac clearance.

Thank you for helping. We don't have a CDS in our facility.

Is there no one in the community that can help me with this?

Is this for Out Patient coding?

As an In Patient CDI I am not sure I have much to offer, but wanted to let you know you were not being ignored!

Jnolan--have you contacted the coding department to see what verbiage they need to properly assign a code?

Yes. And they haven't been much help. That's why I'm reaching out.
