We use Ingenix Encoder Pro.com for the "Lay Description" of procedures and these two are very similar in wording so I'm not sure which is the more appropriate code to submit.
Patient had a guillotine amputation above the ankle on 9/1. Return to surgery 4 days later to finalize amputation. It's obviously a staged procedure (Mod 58) since you can't leave the amputation site open, but which code should be submitted for the second case?
Please help!
