*CAP is coded if the pneumonia is evident within the first 48 hours of admission, this includes patients where the doctor is calling it a pneumonia and are treating it with antibiotics with or without a positive culture.  If the doctor is calling it an aspiration pneumonia, this is a misnomer, it should be called aspiration pneumonitis.  Pneumonia is an infectious process and while aspiration can pre-dispose someone to pneumonia, it should not be called pneumonia until there is clear evidence of such (organism isolated, CXR worsening infiltrates, antibiotics started, increased oxygen requirements, etc.) This is per Dr. Garland. --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 11:27, 2013 March 7 (EST)
