Hello Melanie
If the assessment states that the patient tested positive for Covid-19, but given no fever and improving symptoms, return to work, would you still use the U07.1 or a history of code?
ASSESSMENT AND PLAN
#. COVID-19 - pt tested positive with start of symptoms over 2 weeks ago, was briefly hospitalized and now discharged. He reports mild cough/throat irritation which is significantly improved, no fevers (without using antipyretics) for over 3 days. Overall feeling very well, no shortness of breath
- Patient educated on CDC guidelines related to lifting of home isolation
- Given no fever >72 hours without antipyretics, overall improving respiratory symptoms, and >7 days since onset of symptoms, I believe it is OK to lift home isolation and return to work.
- I will write letter for return to work
- Discussed return to care precautions, including worsening symptoms (SOB, cough, fever)
#. Chronic DVT - stable
- Adherent to warfarin
