• If the following codes in Admit or Complication/Acquired DX slot:

a. 77400 & 93xx (xx mean subcode, 00 mean no subcode)

• drop 77400

b. 774xx & 93xx

• Keep both

• Is this important? Does it require a cross-check? If it is not important, should this be a rule at all? Ttenbergen 17:12, 2015 May 14 (CDT)
  • Since we have unlimited slots for dx, we can allow both codes present in case(a) and no need to cross-check (although the presence of 77400 does not give added info and unnecessary ). JMojica 16:11, 2015 May 15 (CDT)

Template:CCMDB Data Integrity Checks

• Trach_Task#CCDMB_Data_Integrity_Checks
• Check if TISS28 item 23 & item 47 if applicable is marked.
• Discussed whether a trach (774**) dx should be required for this dx. Laura K pointed out that at least in CC an uncomplicated previously existing tracheostomy would not necessarily be coded as a dx, so not adding a cross check for this.
