  • I'm wondering how people are coding orthostatic hypotension? It seems some what common in the elderly causing falls and is sometimes treated with a steroid type of drug? Hypotension NYD is one option and peripheral neuropathy (the autonomic affects) is another possible code to use. What are you doing? (Judy)
    • some of the responses I received were: orthostatic hypotension is coded as hypotnesion NYD or as syncope (Judy)
