New Diabetes assumption
What is everybody doing for coding Diabetic assumptions recently approved by Coding Clinic? I know as of 10.01.16 coding rules have changed regarding Diabetes. If we have any existing cases that have Diabetes with Gangrene or Osteo. etc, but DOS is prior to 10.01.16 Should we change coding at Recert time or leave as is?

My opinion is that it should be fine either way - as long as the etiology has not been identified.
All the best!
