Any ideas on what diagnosis code to assign for a patient presenting to ER for a cast change after getting water on the cast?
I was looking at either admission for change of wound dressing (Z48.01), but I wasn't sure that a "cast" would be considered a wound dressing.
I was also looking at the diagnosis code for admission for fitting and adjustment of orthopedic device (Z46.89).
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
