• If a patient is on Rivaroxaban, heparin infusion, or coumadin I have been adding this code if my patient develops any sort of GI bleed, regardless of the PTT/INR results. I am curious as to whether other people are using this code in the same way?Mlagadi 08:01, 2017 August 25 (CDT)
  • I have been using this code in the same way as well. I believe Elaine also uses it as well. DPageNewton 13:53, 2017 August 29 (CDT)
  • I do not always do this but the main thing is that the GI bleed is coded. If it is clear that the anticoagulation is causing the bleed, then I code this. --LKolesar 14:27, 2017 August 29 (CDT)
  • I think the distinction here is: do you always code this if there is a GI Bleed for a pt on coagulation, or only if there are indications that they are related. Is that the question? I will pull Julie in on this as well since she would be reporting on this. Ttenbergen 17:44, 2017 September 6 (CDT)
