I recently got a prescription from my doctor and it has on it: eval & treat DX: 715.36 I understand the evaluation and treatment part, but what is the DX...........?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Dx: Abbreviation standing for diagnosis, the determination of the nature of a disease. Dx may alternatively be written DX or dx.

715.36 is probably an office code.?

Found it - it is a claim or diagnosis code: 715.36 Osteoarthritis, localized, not specific whether primary or secondary (lower leg)Health Question & Answer

DX stands for diagnosis and the number is a code. I think it is a code for DJD which is degenerative disc disease. Health Question & Answer
