sometimes docs will put down another diagnosis to prescribe a medication ..
the pbs (in aus) will allow only some meds to be used for certain diagnosis until enuff study has been done to show its usefulness for other dx.
by putting someone has another dx they can get the med cheaper for the pt even thou they do not have that dx... man i hope i not confusin yall..
