Hello.

I have a general question: what’s the principal difference between [Reported] and not reported codes.

&nbsp;

For example, for AMI

58258-5 Myocardial infarction

66624-8 Myocardial infarction [Reported]

I know these codes have different answers, hierarchy, and attributes, but what’s the principal difference?

&nbsp;

Thank you

Hello Oleg,

Thank you for the question. Temporality is the difference in this instance. Temporality is a linear timeline of past, present and future. 58258-5 is the finding of a current myocardial infarction. 66624-8 is the patient stating they have had a myocardial infarction in the past. It’s the property attributes of Findings and History that bear the distinction.

have a great day,

Pam
