Can anyone help me to understand how to code the following:
I have a patient who came in for a follow up after ORIF of right shoulder but also has a new complaint regarding the left shoulder. The patient is out of the Global Period.
Do I code the new complaint and then V54.89 - Aftercare and then the E/M Code? Not sure if I need to use a modifier.
Any help some one can give me is very much appreciated.
Thank you,
