*Example: Patient came to ED with bleeding esophageal varices and in ED got EGD with banding. Here the procedure did not cause the admission, but it was certainly related to the admission diagnosis. | *Example: Patient came to ED with bleeding esophageal varices and in ED got EGD with banding.

*{{Discussion}} Just to clarify, does this apply to tests or procedures that relate to the admission but not the primary reason? For example, the pt has chronic ascites from cirrhosis so they did a paracentesis and needed a foley inserted but had to have a cystoscopy in order to accomplish this due to swelling. (These procedures were done in ER) His actual admit diagnosis is primarily hepatorenal syndrome. So I assume we do not code these procedures, is this correct?--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 12:49, 2018 November 14 (CST) | |||
* If a CT scan is done in ER and the pt admitted to the ward with a stroke, would this CT be put in CCI? Please make sure the instructions are clear as some are still putting in the tests done even if not causal because they are defining them as directly related to the admission.--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 12:49, 2018 November 14 (CST) | |||
