False.
If a congenital malformation has been successfully corrected or resolved, it is generally not coded on subsequent encounters. Instead, you would code for the current state or condition of the patient. Coding guidelines in healthcare often focus on the current diagnosis, symptoms, and treatment, rather than historical conditions that have been corrected or no longer exist. Therefore, you would code based on the patient's current health status and any ongoing issues rather than past malformations that have been corrected.
