Hello,
Could you please tell me if I should code History of liver cancer, Hepatitis B in a patient who just received a liver transplant OR I should code these 2 conditions as they still exist? The MD who did a liver transplant is now managing immunosuppression for this patient. Prim DX is immunosuppressive therapy. The sick liver has been excised and replaced by a healthy one but did cancer and HBV become a History codes or still C22- liver cancer and B19- hepatitis? I attached 2 examples. Thank you very much for your help.
