dialysis status

Does this (z99.2) need to be coded immediately following ESRD, or can it be coded further down the list?

  • immediately after N18.6
  • I always code it at the very bottom, with other z-codes. its not required to be sequenced with ESRD. and you may miss out on case mix points if your using one of your "payable positions" to report z99.2...
