Patients admitted with HIV-related illness would normally have two codes assigned because HIV-related illnesses often have specific codes assigned to them in addition to the code for HIV itself. This is done to provide more detailed information about the specific illness or condition that the patient is experiencing. By assigning two codes, healthcare providers can accurately document and track the different aspects of the patient's condition, which is important for proper diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of HIV-related illnesses.Rate this question:
