In Episode 45, Paula Digby first discusses the potential use of E11.8, diabetes with unspecified complication. Another question deals with the use of suicide ideation vs suicide attempt. There’s a question about wound healing when staging isn’t available and another about using radiculopathy and SCI (spinal cord injury) in the same patient. Finally, one caller asks for a code for open deep excision of inguinal lymph nodes.
