If the provider documented that the facet syndrome spanned both the lower thoracic region and upper lumbar region, i.e. T11 - L2, the diagnosis could be reported as M53.85. I would only code the M53.80 code if the provider documented facet syndrome without indication of any spinal region.
Wasps are actually beneficial insects for humans and the environment. They are one of the major natural scavengers, and they eat insects such as flies and caterpillars that are often considered pests to humans.
And while this revival of the wasp population may sound like bad news for those poor old spheksophobes, Brumfitt insists that wasps are only bothersome right at the end of their life-cycle. âFor most of the season all the foraging wasps want to do is build their nests,â he says.
