*If someone is on chronic HD, and they come in and are dialyzed during their stay, do we list this as an admit code, or as an acquired code? What date do we use-the date that they first had a treatment while in hospital, or the admit date?[[User:Mlagadi|Mlagadi]] 09:32, 2018 July 26 (CDT)

** Please see [[Px Type]]. If that addresses it, please remove the question from here. However... what do we need to change so you would have found that information where it is? Ttenbergen 15:27, 2018 July 29 (CDT)

***This doesn't really answer my question. Dialysis is unique to the other codes, because it can be a chronic pre-admission issue. If they have been dialyzed for years, but were admitted three days after their most recent dialysis, then according to these rules, we would code dialysis as an acquired procedure.[[User:Mlagadi|Mlagadi]] 08:01, 2018 July 30 (CDT)

== Alternate CCIs to consider coding instead or in addition ==
