Hello CPC here. If you put “suspected STEMI” in your notes we are not allowed to code that. Anything that is suspected, probable, etc is not a definite diagnosis. If you know the patient definitely is STEMI, PLEASE don’t put probable or suspected. I have seen so many times a Dr gets a lower level, when they should have received a higher level, due to doubt in notes that should be a definitive diagnosis. This video is amazing and so informative for physicians. You did an amazing job!! I hope physicians print out your slides and that nothing changes in 2024, 2025 and so on 🤗
