As I understand it (though I've said I'm not sure I should be the person to do it. I think a doctor should) when coming something's symptoms you don't code the symptoms if it's part of an ailment (for a diagnosis) you just code the ailment. Like for a flu you would code it as a flu if it had just a few symptoms that were part of it- you'd code flu rather than nausea, chills and vomitting, is this correct?
I remember reading something suggesting a "disease reference guide" or pathophysiology guide for this, does anyone know one? I'd rather use it than google searches.
