help with a diagnosis code should be easy to answer
Patient was in a MVA in 1999 and had a C6 spinal cord injury rendering him a paraplegic. The doctor coded a 952.9 unspecified site of spinal cord injury. I feel since this did not just happen that I would code 344.1 paraplegia?? Any help would be appreciated.

I believe code 344.1 would be the correct one
