Pulmonary edema

Do you code pulmonary edema with diastolic chf?? I left my book at work and I think there is a note about that but I'm just not sure.

  • Jill I think I gave you the incorrect answer,

    Chronic pulmonary if its not related to a cardia orginin then you would code it as J81.1 but if its related then you wouldnt, I alwasy get this confused with edema realted to Heart disease
  • Oh ok, that's where I was confused. Thanks!
