Well, that would be one fewer issue for sure. However, we do just like Donna; use a couple dozen non specific codes, and always get paid. I have always considered the whole coding thing a fairly pointless exercise. When we started with AC and would pick a non-specific code, AC would panic and urge me to pick a different code. But I find we get paid exactly the same if I use 401.1 or 401.9. Consequently, I am going to worry even less about specifying which knee was sprained.
