=== [[ | ==== When to code a [[Comorbid Diagnosis]] ==== | ||
''' | *'''Either''': | ||
**Dx is '''chronic''' and was present and known '''prior''' to admission, even if it was only discovered during this admission | |||
**Dx is in the past and is resolved and is included in one of the: [[:Category: Past medical history]] codes | |||
**Dx is '''chronic''' and '''was not known prior to admission''' | |||
***In this situation, code it as a [[Comorbid Diagnosis]] if it is a chronic, '''non-infectious''' condition -- e.g. a cancer, collagen-vascular disease (such as [[Systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE, lupus)]]), COPD, diabetes | |||
***But do NOT code it as [[Comorbid Diagnosis]] if it is a chronic '''infectious''' condition -- such as [[Tuberculosis]] or [[AIDS (disease due to HIV)]] (which if first discovered/identified during the current admission ''would'' qualify as an [[Admit Diagnosis]]). | |||
***Note that this rule does not impact on coding as a [[Comorbid Diagnosis]] an infection which is still present but WAS known pre-admission --- e.g. an osteomyelitis being treated at home with iv antibiotics. | |||

=== [[Dx_Priority]] === | |||
'''You will need to enter priorities for comorbids'''. For comorbids the priorities will only be used for grouping [[Combined ICD10 codes]], not for prioritizing them in any order of importance. | |||
