    Aggravating Conditions<\/strong> are environmental factors, such as the work the patient does that may inhibit their progress. For example, heavy lifting at their place of employment. Contributing Conditions<\/strong> are typically other diagnoses or problems that complicate the case, such as diabetes. Typically, these are things in addition to the chief complaint that you might not be actively managing. By adding these to the Care Plan Narrative<\/em> you will help reviewers understand why your case might require unique services or a longer duration to treat.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
