Do any of the coders have a good way to code renal bone disease? Here we use 733.99 metabolic bone disease and cannot find a coding clinic on subject.

    What about metabolic bone disease? How would you code this?

    Using the Encoder:

    Disease
    Bone disease
    Metabolic
    Metabolic disorders
    Unspecified
    -->
    277.9 unspecified disorder of metabolism

    If your metabolic bone disease is further specified as metabolic syndrome, your code will be different.
