Hi-
i just took a refresher course on icd 10 on aapc and one of the practice to be coded examples states pt was seen for a diabetic right great toe ulcer with gangrene, necrosis to the bone. The "correct" answer is
e11.621
i96
l97.514
why is i96 on there when the book states i96 excludes gangrene in diabetes mellitus? If the book states a problem is excluded from a code why does it have to be coded?
Thanks
