{{DT|Tina, would you be able to add anginosis in brackets beside this in our ICD 10 diagnosis codes? I have a lot of cultures that come back as streptococcus anginosis, and every time I have to double check online to make sure that this is the appropriate choice (we have multiple streptoccocus codes to choose from). Thanks! }}
