Hello, I am not an expert. I take dx from the Op note. If the Op note describes the procedure bilaterally but the Op note has Dx is unilateral, I would query the Md and ask him to correct dx in the Op note. -
PIf the provider documented a unilateral dx code on the op report and the procedure is unilateral, but the H/P has a bilateral dx code listed. Would the bilateral code be appropriate to code? I'm looking for a cps assist or ama guideline as well.

PI normally code the op report documentation. Please help me clarify some information. If the op report has a unilateral dx code, but the H/P has it listed as bilateral, should the bilateral dx code be used?
