MD states Alzheimer's in his H&P.
When coding ICD-10 it states use additional code to Identify: Dementia with or W/O disturbance or delirium. MD does not indicate any of these things. Do you code Alzheimer's unspecified G30.9 only? or do you assume W/O disturbance F02.80?
My issue is that I have always been told not to assume and I have not been able to find something stating the default would be w/o disturbance. Help!
