The rules to billing medical carriers are defined within your contracts and vary from carrier to carrier, you need to review your contracts or review the guidelines found in your CPT manual. As for determining diagnosis codes these must come from your doctor, you as a coder/biller may not determine what diagnosis is appropriate. Once your doctor has assigned a diagnosis you may look your code up in the ICD-9-CM book.
