You can look up the ICD 9 codes that the doctor's office needs to write for Bob's rehab on the internet. Google "icd 9 code lookup" and put in his symptoms. They will provide you with the code. For Example:<br /><br /> 781.2 Abnormality of gait<br />Gait:<br />ataxic<br />paralytic<br />spastic<br />staggering<br />Excludes:<br />ataxia:<br />NOS (781.3)<br />difficulty in walking (719.7)<br />locomotor (progressive) (094.0) <br /><br /> 719.7 Difficulty in walking<br />Excludes:<br />abnormality of gait (781.2) <br /><br /> V57.81 Orthotic training<br />Gait training in the use of artificial limbs <br /><br /> 729.89 Other<br />Excludes:<br />abnormality of gait (781.2)<br />tetany (781.7)<br />transient paralysis of limb (781.4) <br /><br /> 781.3 Lack of coordination<br />Ataxia NOS<br />Muscular incoordination<br />Excludes:<br />ataxic gait (781.2)<br />cerebellar ataxia (334.0-334.9)<br />difficulty in walking (719.7)<br />vertigo NOS (780.4) <br /><br />Doctor's do not understand the codes. Billing personnal does that. The doctor just needs to give the billing people some symptoms to work with!Willowangelnoreply@blogger.com
