Billing denied
The service was given a V58.69 for diagnosis with CPT® codes of 85610, 36416. The message was: Principle diagnosis was inappropriately coded.
Should not the dx be 286.7 with E850.1 and E850.2? If so does the V58.69 need to codes at all?
Thank you,

re: Billing denied
We bill the disease first then V58.61 (not v58.69 for warfarin).
