Mental health providers typically do a great job at documenting the elements needed to code to the highest level of specificity, but often our primary care and specialty physicians will list a mental health diagnosis in the patient’s assessment and fail to document the specificity needed to code properly, leaving the coder with no choice but to select an unspecified code.
