When to code as an Admit or Complication DX
Palliative Care DX should be coded as follows:
- admit diagnosis: Palliative care: should only be coded for patients that have been previously enrolled in and are currently being cared for by the Palliative Care Service
- complication diagnosis: Palliative care: should only be coded if there is an actual consultation by the Palliative Care Service
- Trish I have a question for you I have a pt who has pneumonia CAP gets worse Docs says ACP C stop meds leave a bit of O2 on no blood work. I put complication Palliative care (med ward) pt dies in 3 days. Are you saying we should only use the word palliative if a consult to that service was done or if the pt had it prior to coming to the unit?Was DC treatment only at one time used in ICU and that was for when the ventilator was stopped and inotropes were d/c and the pt died very quickly with in hours. Is not palliative care =comfort care=ACP C care not the same?
