What is a presumed diagnosis?Hospitalization due to presumptive diagnosis means that the hospitalization was initiated based on a diagnosis that is suspected and/or has developed but has not yet been confirmed.
Which term indicates an uncertain diagnosis?A: Uncertain diagnoses are those that at the time of discharge are still being documented as “probable,” “suspected,” “likely,” “questionable,” “possible,” “still to be ruled out,” or other similar terminology.
Do you code probable diagnosis in outpatient?Under ICD-10 coding rules, in the outpatient setting, if you note your patient's diagnosis as “probable” or use any other term that means you haven't established a diagnosis, you are not allowed to report the code for the suspected condition. However, you may report codes for symptoms, signs, or test results.
