Curious if there is anywhere written how to type diagnoses when a code is given first. - s


Posted: Mar 26, 2014

Is it written somewhere how to type diagnoses when the code is given first? Axis I: 301.82 Depression, not otherwise specified. (This code and diagnosis might not be accurate but just an example.) Do you put a dash between the code and diagnosis, or a comma after the code and little "d" in depression? or two spaces with capital D for depression?

Don't you have access to samples? - sm

Surely your company has samples or previous dictations you can access to know how to format this.

Nope... - s

I have seen others reports; there typed like
300.00, depression...
Just seems to me like depression should be capitalized as you wouldn't write out the number but the comma would make that not make sense either.

I would use a period, like this - sm

Axis I: 301.82. Depression, not otherwise specified.

Is that the huge psych account with the big N? - nm

Written By Every MT Who Really Had Something To Say.
Sep 24, 2012

There is a profession well hidden from the world, but involves your everyday care when you go to see your doctor. The skill is called transcription and a transcriptionist is the person trained to prepare a dictated voice recording from your medical provider into a legal document that goes into your medical record. When transcription became a skilled job back in the early 1960-1970s, the reports were typed on a manual typewriter, and then progressed onto the electric typewriter, and on to com ...
