Video Summary

In order to code for gastrointestinal bleeding, there must be clear documentation of the bleeding in the medical record, alongside specific criteria such as a drop in hemoglobin levels, a transfusion, or a surgical intervention at the bleeding site. If there is no documented evidence of gastrointestinal bleeding, the event will not be coded as such. It is crucial for healthcare providers to accurately document and report instances of gastrointestinal bleeding to ensure proper coding and treatment.
