Subject: Re: coding
Dear Gail,
I am not making any promises but try using two ICD.9 codes for dialysis
access:
1. Renal dialysis V45.1
2. Renal dz, HTN, FMH, Thromb.etc 403.91
note: I believe that to use a code beginning with "V" that another code
explaining the dz must be included?? I am sorry to be so vague but we are
all flailing about out here with this medicare and coding nightmare. Let
me know how it works out for you.

Thanks Bonnie I will follow up with you our billing people are pretty
good at tracking the different responses from different codes -
Thanks again.
