Gang,
Here we all are making jokes about the extent that these stupid ICD-9 codes go to, but if you really want to talk about drowning in CCHIT, Nancy just asked me this afternoon if I had heard anything about ICD-10 recently!!! HEELLLLLP!!!!! This CCHIT is getting out of hand. You guys will never finish charting just trying to get to the end of the most appropriate stupid Dx code. No less it will just give the carriers even more ammo to use, to try and deny you claims.... "round and round she goes, where she stops nobody knows".
