Hi, What is the best code for CONFUSION for elderly patients with no Mental disorder is it 298.2? or 780.97? Happy Halloween! IM

I would say 780.97.. if you're referring to symptoms, like he got hit in the head and came to the clinic confused. You would use 298.2 if it's a mental disorder type of confusion i would think since it's categorized under that, like something's not actually right with the patients head.
