The correct coding for a 42-year-old ESRD (End-Stage Renal Disease) patient who has had multiple visits to the physician for disease management within a month is 90961 (for dialysis services for an individual aged 20 and older, 4 or more visits), N18.6 (for chronic kidney disease, Stage 6), and Z99.2 (for dependence on renal dialysis). This combination accurately reflects the patient's condition and treatment frequency.
