The economy is so tight right now, that companies are looking for ANY reason to deny people.
Currently, there is no standard diagnosis for PCOS. It's a constellation of symptoms. People are being denied for something that has no solid diagnosis.
So why are doctors using PCOS codes? If you're treating the symptom of hirsutism, then enter the code of hirsutism.
Plus, it's simply more accurate to code the actual symptoms rather than the 'catch all' of pcos (since that means different things in different women.)
It's not a matter of preventing doctors from using pcos codes, as much as it is encouraging them to use codes that are more accurate.
