Guest guest Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 Laurie, Thanks for sharing these dx codes. I'm going to add them to my list of possible dx codes for future reference. I think it these will be very helpful and save the doc time. Someone had already given me 277.8 (inborn error of metabolism ), which is what one of the Mayo geneticists uses for PDH symptoms, in order toget some of the tests done that I needed and my doc was glad to not have to search for a code. Thanks and Best Wishes, Anita > Anita > > The codes I have are: > > 758.9 for mitochondrial myopathy > 639.4 for metabolic myopathy > > I don't have the one you are looking for. > > laurie > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 Anita I carry the codes in my purse, just to make things easier (and quicker) when I go to the hospital for tests or such. Our hospital has a program with the codes now, so I haven't had to use it lately. Thanks for sharing the code you were given. I will add it to my list. laurie > > Reply-To: > Date: Sat, 19 Jun 2004 10:15:05 -0000 > To: > Subject: Laurie.-Re: dx code PDH > > Laurie, Thanks for sharing these dx codes.
