are you transcribing or coding?
Subject: are you transcribing or coding?
If you are transcribing, the correct way is:
V code: Parent-child conflict.
Unless you are a certified coder, it would be wise to avoid inserting the actual code into the transcription as the MD/psychologist did not dictate it. The codes can change from year to year and you could enter the wrong code depending on the date of the service and which coding resource you are using.
