Hello, I am looking for some clarification regarding how to code these mental health diagnoses. The documentation indicates a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder and depression. Can I code this as F25.1 Schizoaffective disorder, depressive type, or do I need to code each diagnosis separately as F25.9 Schizoaffective disorder, unspecified and F32.9 Major depressive disorder, single episode, unspecified?
Thank you,
