When to code as an Admit or Complication DX

Palliative Care DX should only be coded as follows:

• ADMIT diagnosis: only if the patient has been previously enrolled in and is currently being cared for by the Palliative Care Service.
• COMPLICATION DX diagnosis: only if there is an actual consultation for Palliative Care Services after ward admission.
