Additional Info
- This code refers to a pattern whereby a patient has not -- prior to admission -- followed doctors' orders for medical management in a way that may harm them.
- This can occur either by willful choice, or the person now understanding the instructions, or even not being able to afford medications, etc.
- While this USUALLY means not taking their meds, it can also refer to not doing other things recommended in a way that may harm them (e.g. an MI patient who isn't going to cardiac rehab).
- Do not however, use this code simply to identify a patient who is medically incompetent to make their own decisions.
- We are not seeking to specifically code or track people who are unable to make their own medical decisions.
- However, if there is a medical/neurologic/psychiatric reason for the patient to be deemed unable to make their own decisions, then code THAT entity.
- And if in such a setting the patient is medically noncompliant (as above), code that too.
