Level of Risk for Influenza
Good afternoon-
I am working on a large scale project, and acuity (risk) is the main component. Although I am quite adept at using Appendix C in the CPT, as well as the Table of Risk, I would like to hear feedback on where one would consider influenza with respiratory manifestation (which is not noted or coded) on the Table of Risk. Low or moderate?

Moderate
It's definitely moderate. Have you tried doing preventing measures to avoid influenza? I personally use N Acetyl Cysteine (https://www.smartpillwiki.com/n-acetyl-cysteine-benefits-the-all-potent-nootropic-to-keep-you-young-and-healthy/) for staying healthy as I am a nurse in an contagious isolation ward as it is considered to be a high risk in the Table of Risk
