Diverticulosis with diverticulitis?If a patient is diagnosed with diverticulosis with diverticulitis, does the diagnosis of diverticulitis assume the presence of diverticulosis? They read to me like two different diseases and would need two separate codes: K57.90, Diverticulosis of intestine, part unspecified... and K57.92, Diverticulitis of of intestine, part unspecified... Or would I just code the K57.92? Thank you so much!
