long term use of insulin

dtraversdtravers
in Home Care Coding General
If patient has type 1 Diabetes, do we also use the Z794 code for long term use of insulin? Or is the insulin implied since it is type 1.
Thanks for your help

    No, the insulin is implied for type 1.
    Only use the long term use of insulin for type 2.
