Como Admit Acquired Primary Limits 1/ Dx grouping - this is part of both of those discussion

* Should we be coding cardiac arrest as a comorb if they have a past history of cardiac arrest? Or is it considered resolved? Some of us are coding it as a comorb and some of us aren't. Thanks - Brynn

** I think [[Comorbid_Diagnosis#When_not_to_code_a_dx_at_all]] answers this, but you say some people code it differently. Could someone who codes this as a comorbid explain why they code it? I want to flag this for my meeting with Allan to address collector questions, and I think we will need to know what the reasoning is. Ttenbergen 09:30, 2020 August 26 (CDT)

** TT note: See [[Controlling Dx Type for ICD10 codes]] - we can instruct not to code this specific code as a comorbid, but the problem is likely more widespread and should be addressed that way; Just leaving it here as an example.

***I have included this code for a patient with a fairly recent arrest and also to highlight the extent of their CAD and comorbs. I would also likely include it if the admitting diagnosis is cardiac related.

*AG REPLY --- cardiac arrest is a manifestation of a disease (examples include arrythmias, coronary artery disease, acute MI, etc). Thus it should NOT be coded as a comorbid disorder
