A quick question regarding diagnosis selection. If a doctor indicates that the patient has asthma, but does not specify intrinsic or extrinsic is it appropriate to sign these specific diagnosis codes? The note states as below:
Diagnosis selection
"Asthma; currently with exacerbation due to acute bronchitis. The patient always reports worsening of her asthma in the winter due to the cold."
I chose diagnosis code 493.92 (Asthma NOS w/acute exacerbation), the doctor chose 493.10 (Intrinsic asthma NOS).
