    Hi Natalie.
    I would assume this is referring to 3 extremities with paresis-type issues. So, with no specific tri-code for this, I would code the para and then add a monoparesis code too. Para + Mono = tri right?
    For what it's worth...

    Sounds right to me. My feedback was without benefit of coding reference material.
