Unspecified diagnosis codes like G52.9 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition.

Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.

Footnotes
[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
