Question
kevin4998
I am wondering how these items will be rated (taking in account they are all part of the gastro class)
7319 Irritable colon syndrome (IBS)
7332 Rectum and anus, impairment of sphincter control (Secondary to 7319)
7346 Hernia hiatal (leading too GERD and Barrett’s)
I have documentation in my SMC for each of these issues except Barrett’s.
I was treated for GERD and IBS in the military several times.
I am also a Gulf War Vet, the GERD and IBS was treated in 95 and for the rest of my service time, then after service by private doctors and take otc meds regularly.
Hiatal Hernia was just mentioned in SMC (not treated) due to that fact of my problems with the GERD.
(can’t find a codes for the GERD or Barrett’s).
I had seen a post a while back that a person got separate ratings for IBS and GERD, which from my understanding was a unique rating since both fall under GASTRO problems.
