Anyone know if code status is addressed in the AAMT BOS?  I cannot find it but am not certain what to look under either.  Wondering if this should always be set apart with all caps or separate line?

Here's the context: He smiles much of the time; he is cooperative.  Symptom status revealed that he knew that George Bush was the current president and that Bill Clinton preceded him.  He denies hearing any voices.....

I had never heard of this myself so I looked it up on the Internet, and it is really interesting how they do all that work ahead of time and get things rolling, and then are ready for the patient coming in. 


My thought would be Code STEMI as long as it was not in the diagnosis, and if that is the way the doctor dictated it.  If he dictated that whole thing out, then it would have to be expanded, but Code STEMI sounds good to me.

Subject: s/l profee code?

Anybody know the correct way to type this?  It's a billing code dictated in the progress notes, which is done sometimes on one of my accounts.  I've searched the web and found it spelled every way imaginable, the billers and coders board here looks abandoned, and search of boards turned up nothing. 


I'm hoping someone out there in MT Land has the answer.  Thanks!

Used for a breast biopsy (needle localization).  Of course, I thought of Methergine and anything else possible.  QA left it blank as well.  Since the report went to the facility with blanks for that word, there's no rush.  I just wish I could figure out the word!
