Example for Coding Prior Device Use
1. Resident M is a bilateral lower extremity amputee and has multiple diagnoses, including
diabetes, obesity, and peripheral vascular disease. They are unable to walk and did not walk
prior to the current episode of care, which started because of a pressure ulcer and respiratory
