Coding "Syndromes"
Have you wondered how to code syndromes such as Cushing's Syndrome, Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome, Budd-Chiari Syndrome, Wolf-Parkinson White Syndrome, Meigs’ Syndrome, Marfan Syndrome?

1. Start with the Alphabetic Index when coding syndromes. 
2. In the absence of Alphabetic Index listing, assign codes for the documented manifestations of the syndrome. 
3. Additional codes for manifestations that are not an integral part of the disease process may be assigned in addition when the condition does not have a unique code. GUIDELINES FOR CODING SYNDROMES
