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
