You are invited to listen in for ten minutes every other Monday and to submit your favorite questions or comments for Coffee with the Coder^®

In Episode 41, Paula Digby brings clarity beginning with a concern about neuropraxia in an unspecified nerve, and one about residual hemiparesis as etiologic or comorbid for the IRF-PAI. She then looks at a pair of similar questions regarding the use of Z99.2 for hemodialysis when it happens only once.
