*I was under the impression that Dr Roberts did want us to code some new diagnosis under comorbs. For example, if a newly admitted pt with no past medical history goes for a CT scan and they find cancer in the bowel and the liver, I was under the impression that we were to put bowel and liver cancer in the comorbid category, as well as the diagnosis category. Is this incorrect? If I am correct then why would we not code diabetes in the comorbs for the above scenario? If I am correct, does this apply to all 'new' diagnoses or just some?=== [[User:Jthiessen|Jthiessen]] 08:33, 2014 September 5 (CDT)
