Is it okay to code off of the ST eval? Scenario: MD has ordered ST eval but did not include a DX for ST. ST eval states patient has Dysphagia and Dysarthria. Can we code those Dx's from the ST eval?

    I verify this with the physician and document the conversation

    I thought an ST was able to diagnose under their license.
