Diagnosis coding
In billing for a physician(professional) does the diagnosis code affect payment amount or is that for hopsital coding?

re: Diagnosis coding
The diagnoses codes do not have payment (dollar amts) for physician coding, BUT, they establish medical necessity (or not) and if not present may deny= no payment for service rendered.
